What determines which eyewear to choose?

The NFPA 70E Standard identified safety glasses or safety goggles as selection required “SR”. The risk assessment includes hazard identification. The potential hazards then determine what type of primary eye protection is necessary.

Also consider the comfort of the worker. If the spectacles/goggles are not comfortable they won’t be worn properly. The style is important because everyone wants to look their best and wearing safety eyeglasses are no exception. Size, if the eyeglasses don’t fit properly then they won’t protect properly.
