In a busy IT workshop, you're assigned to dismantle several old desktops to salvage usable parts for future repairs. While removing the components, what personal protective equipment should you wear to protect your eyes from potential harm such as dust or small particles flying out?
Regular prescription glasses
Safety goggles
A full face shield without additional eye protection
No eye protection; as long as you exercise caution.
Safety goggles are designed to provide a barrier to protect the eyes from various hazards, including dust, small particles, or flying debris that may occur when dismantling computer hardware. They form a protective seal around the eyes, which glasses or a face shield alone might not provide. Regular glasses do not offer the same level of side protection as safety goggles, which can prevent particles from entering from the sides. A face shield can protect the entire face but is not designed to form a seal around the eyes to keep out small particles effectively. Therefore, safety goggles are the correct protective equipment for this scenario.
