Safety glasses should be worn while performing tasks such as chipping, drilling, grinding, polishing, buffing, riveting, shearing, hammering, sawing, planning, and lathe work to keep objects/particles from flying into the eyes.

Glasses also protect you from visible light or radiation. They should be used whenever a person is in a hazardous area such as a machine room or construction site when welding, brazing, furnace work, metal pouring.

Use safety glasses when in contact with chemicals, such as in a lab or hazardous material area. This can occur while handling acid or alkali or chemical spraying. From glare or stray light which may occur when working in bright sunlight, or reflected welding flash and photographic copying.

To be effective, the eyewear must be of the appropriate type for the hazard encountered and properly fitted. It is estimated that 90% of eye injuries can be prevented through the use of proper protective eyewear.
