No! Not contact lenses!! Every self-respecting electrician knows there is the on-the-job danger of welding your contact lenses to your eyeballs! ;-)
“An electrical worker, wearing contact lenses, throws a switch...” Alas, it’s another urban legend embellished over time. About 20 years ago a US trade rag—EC&M—even published an article insisting that the claim was false, and cited a response from some “official” institution for contact-lens marketing, or the like.
