In this section we will explain the care and use of Safety Glasses.
These are typically the type of Safety glasses worn in all of our facilities.
General Instruction for use
Limitations of Safety Spectacles
Specific hazards require specialized or additional eye and face protection. Examples of such hazards and the protection required include:
- Exploding grinding wheels or other high energy projectiles: use a face shield or impact goggles over spectacles
- Glare: use spectacles with tinted or Anit-glare lenses.
- Optical radiation from gas or torch welding, cutting, brazing or soldering: use spectacles with filter lenses marked with shade designations 3.0 or 5.0 for infrared (IR) protection.
- Arc Welding: use a welding helmet over spectacles
- Lasers: Use a laser goggle
- Chemical vapors: use a gas tight goggle or a full face respirator;
- Liquid Splash: use a face shield or splash goggles over spectacles.
- Extreme temperatures or high humidity: use spectacles with an anti-fog coating;
Putting Spectacles on
- Use both hands to guide temples into position so that the eyewear fits securely. Assess the fit by bending over, head facing down. If the spectacles remain in place, a satisfactory fit has been obtained. If a satisfactory fit can not be obtained with the chosen style, adjust the temples (if adjustable) or choose a style that will provide an adequate fit.
Cleaning
- Thoroughly clean all surfaces with soap or suitable detergent and warm water. Carefully rinse all traces of soap or detergent. Air dry or pat dry with a soft, lint free cloth.
At many of our plant you will find an eye glass cleaning station specific for glass cleaning.
Storing
- Keep in a clean, dry, dust free environment, preferably in a suitable storage case.
WARNING
1. These spectacles are impact resistant, but not unbreakable. They may break or become dislodged by severe impact, exposing the wearer to serious eye injury or blindness.
2. Discard these spectacles or replace the lenses when pits or scratches are visible.
3. Exposure to, or contact with, chemical vapors or liquids may cause surface crazing and reduce impact resistance. Discard when crazing occurs to any surface.
4. Spectacles must fit properly to provide adequate protection.
5. Materials that may come in contact with wearer's skin could cause allergic reactions to susceptible individuals.
