Safety Glasses are designed to prevent or lessen the severity of injuries to woodworkers.
Hazards can fall into five categories: Impact (Flying objects such as large chips, fragments, particles, sand, and dirt. Produced by chipping, grinding, machining, masonry work, wood working, sawing, drilling, chiseling, powered fastening, riveting, and sanding.) Heat (Anything emitting extreme heat. Produced by furnace operations, pouring, casting, hot dipping, and welding.) Chemicals (Splash, fumes, vapors, and irritating mists. Produced by acid and chemical handling, degreasing, plating, and working with blood.) Dust (Harmful Dust. Produced by woodworking, buffing, and general dusty conditions.) Optical Radiation (Radiant energy, glare, and intense light Produced by welding, torch-cutting, brazing, soldering, and laser work.)

Secondary protective devices such as face shields are required in conjunction with primary protective devices during severe exposure to impact hazards.
When fitted and worn correctly, goggles protect your eyes from wood chips. Dust is present during operations such as woodworking and buffing. Working in a dusty environment can causes eye injuries and presents additional hazards to contact lens wearers.
Either eyecup or cover-type safety goggles should be worn when dust is present. Safety goggles are the only effective type of eye protection from nuisance dust because they create a protective seal around the eyes.
