Face shields are considered secondary face protection and must be used with safety glasses or goggles underneath.  You don’t get anywhere with a face shield.

 

Has the person tried the goggles with the silicon seal?  The price point is higher but the goggles are very comfortable.

 

Hope this helps,

Debbie

can proceed violently in the presence of an idiot."

A full face shield does solve the problem nicely. We keep one available in the Chemistry department for students who cannot wear goggles--usually due to an injury.

I’m looking for a chemical-splash type laboratory safety goggle for an individual with sensitive skin, who has experienced a contact allergic skin reaction when wearing goggles in the past.  Is anyone aware of a goggle that is ‘hypoallergenic’ or, based on your experience, less likely to cause skin/allergic reactions?

 

Thanks,

SJM
