EYE PROTECTION
Safety glasses are required to be worn at all times when working in the labs. It is important to come to class prepared with your own pair of safety glasses. Safety glasses that are provided by the BRAE Department are for visitors or for extras in case of emergency, however there are not enough for ALL STUDENTS working in the labs. It is your responsibility to come prepared to class/lab with the proper PPE which includes your safety glasses.
Safety glasses should be approved ANSI Z87.1-‐2010 for full protection. This approval will usually appear in the bottom corner of the glasses to ensure that you have purchased the correct kind. Using ANSI approved safety glasses is very important to achieve the proper level of eye protection needed when working in the labs.
