Chemical splash goggles should be worn when there is a high potential for splash
from a hazardous material. Goggles should be worn when working with
glassware under reduced or elevated pressure and when glass apparatus is used in
combustion or other high temperature operations.
Like safety glasses, goggles are
impact resistant. Chemical splash goggles shall have indirect ventilation so hazardous substances
cannot drain into the eye area. Some can be worn over prescription glasses.
