Safety glasses or chemical goggles must be donned before entering any wet bench lab, including cell culture labs. This applies to lab visitors, GT maintenance and custodial workers as well as staff and students.
Safety glasses must meet the ANSI Z87.1 - 2010 standard for impact resistance and have side shields for splash protection.
Chemical goggles may be required for certain processes where safety glasses are deemed inadequate.
Safety glasses or goggles must be worn over prescription glasses. Safety glasses worn over prescription glasses must be of a type intended for this purpose (Often referred to as Over the Glass Safety Glasses). Regular prescription glasses will not provide adequate protection in this case.
Prescription safety glasses are acceptable as long as they have side shields for splash protection. (Check with your department to see if they fund such purchases.) Side shields must also meet the Z87.1 standard for impact resistance and be non-vented.
Safety glasses or goggles are required all labs where soldering or machining/grinding occurs.
