First, I want to thank whomever added the safety glasses to the bend in the machine shop. That said, not only those glasses, but I have found this to be a problem with ALL of the safety glasses we have at the space. They are not the kind that folks can wear over prescription eye glasses.
I don’t have any experience as to whether this is a big concern in the wood shop; however, in both the machine shop and I suspect the metal shop I can testify from personal experience that chips can easily get in your eyes even when wearing prescription eye glasses. I have taken to bringing my own safety glasses that work for those without eyeglasses as well of those of us who do. I suggest that we start stocking either both, or switch to the dual style.
