Suitable eye protectors n* be worn where machines or operatio*present the hazard of <br /> flying objects, liquids, injurious radiation, or a combination of these hazards. The equipment <br /> must meet some basic requirements: <br />• - They must provide adequate protection against the particular hazards for which <br /> they are designed <br /> They must be reasonably comfortable when worn under the designated conditions <br /> They must fit snugly without interfering with the movements or vision of the <br /> wearer <br /> - They must be durable <br /> - They must be capable of being easily cleaned and disinfected <br /> - They must be kept clean and in good condition <br /> 1. Selection <br /> Each eye, face, or face-and eye protector is designed for a particular hazard. When <br /> selecting the protector, consideration should be given to the land and degree of <br /> hazard, and the protection should be determined from that information. Whenever <br /> safety glasses are worn, they shall be the type that have built-in side shields and an <br /> upper ledge to prevent contamination from either the side or top of the glasses, and <br /> shall meet or exceed ANSI standard Z87.1 - 1979 <br /> When working in asbestos-related areas, either a 112 face or full face respirator shall <br /> be worn (please refer to CEMPs Respirator Selection Policy in Section 7 0). When a <br /> half face respirator is used during bulk sampling, safety glasses should be worn. This <br /> will n mmize the occurrence of eye injury from falling material or a broken knife <br /> blade. When full face respirators are being worn, the eyes will be protected by the <br /> plastic shield <br /> When working in Environmental areas, eye protection will be provided by the full <br /> face respirator. Again, if 112 face respirators are being used, then safety glasses shall <br /> be worn as needed to prevent materials entering the eye. <br /> 2 Special Note For Corrective Eyeglass Wearers <br /> For those people who wear corrective eyeglasses and are required by OSHA to wear <br /> eye protection, the eye protection must be a face shield, goggles, or glasses of one of <br /> the following types: <br /> Glasses with protective lenses providing optical correction <br />• A-23 <br />
