ECN Forum Forums Safety Discussion and News Occupational Safety Discussion Haven't safety glasses come a long way?

What about the run marks in the shorts
Glad you came out OK

I've recently taken to wearing safety glasses that have built-in reading glasses .... I seem to have some trouble reading forms these days!

Non-prescription, can be found at tool houses and even some hardware stores.

I also notice they are making the embossed writing on device straps and fuse caps harder to read too.
When was the last time you could read that little tag in the wiring bay of a QO breaker?

Greg,
This is one thing that annoys me about the way electronics manufacturing is heading, tried reading the value codes on SMD resistors and capacitors?

One good thing about the way safety glasses have progressed in their styling, is that you see a lot more younger people wearing them on building sites (even if they are on their caps when they don't need them on).

20 years ago, you would never have seen people with goggles on their heads unless they needed them, otherwise they would be relegated to the work truck, which meant you had to go and get them if you needed them, some people thought that was too much of a stretch, this is how eye injuries occur.

Stay safe, folks.
