Good morning everyone,
It’s
me again. First I would like to thank everyone that responded to my last post.
Secondly, I am trying to decide on eye protection regarding flying particles.
We have several machine centers that require the use of an air gun to blow out
chips, etc. and have had 2 eye injuries as a result. I have found
literature regarding both, and in my opinion goggles seem to be the preferred method.
However, there is the comfort and convenience factor of a face shield over the
goggles that will be the bigger problem. The air guns are being checked for
correct pressure and a different type of nozzle has been ordered and some areas
have eliminated the practice of using an air gun, but protection still needs
addressed.
Any
comments would be much appreciated.
