As an Au Occupation  health and safety rep for my company, I insist that all
employees (all one of them) wear normal glasses and safety glasses.......


Seriously though from personal experience, being blind is no fun, (medical
problem had the side effect of tempary blindness for a week, the novelty
wore off after a day :o(   )

it amazes me the number of engineers who wear glasses and think they are
protected, but these are not enough, as good safety glasses stop bits
getting around the lenes, one place I worked, we all had green tinted safety
glasses, it did not affect colour recognition, but apparently improved
visibility in low light areas ???

Regards,

Kat.
