Title: M6 -Safety Glasses
Course: Open PRO110 Safety, Health & Environment > Section: Module 6: Rescue and First Aid

Another piece of PPE is safety glasses, I remember my first pair of safety glasses with contempt, the didn't fit right, where huge, weighed a ton, and to top it off the were about as un-stylish as you could get. I would be willing to bet you all have had a pair of these. Mine lasted forever in high school shop, because I just about refused to wear the darn things.

Todays safety glasses have come light years

I wear my dark glasses off duty as sunglasses, on a regular basis. If you have prescription glasses, they need to have safety lenses in them with side shields, your local eye doctor can help with this. So you are aware as a safety person, I look for glasses all the time, no matter what your sunglasses vendor tells you, unless it states ANSI Z 87.1  on the lenses it does not meet the spec, The only OAKLEY glasses that meet this criteria are the Tactical series of glasses. The following video is just over a minute long, and demonstrates military and ANSI testing,
