Question 1: A technician who wears prescription eyeglasses is grinding a bracket.What eye protection is appropriate?
Choices:
1) Safety eyewear that incorporates the prescription or �ts over the prescription glasses 2) Prescription glasses alone 3) A face shield with no safety glasses 4) Tinted driving glasses Correct Answer: Safety eyewear that incorporates the prescription or �ts over the prescription glasses Explanation: OSHA requires appropriate eye protection for �ying-particle hazards.
