It does not matter what type of lab you are in. If the hazard is
chemical splash or chemical droplet, the only appropriate eye protection is
either unvented or indirectly vented cover goggles (chemical splash
goggles.
See 29CFR1910.132, 29CFR1910.133, and ANSI Z-87.1
Either you want to follow the federal and California regulations or you
want to be in violation (and we all know what happens in CA if you do
that)!
While I applaud what is an otherwise excellent video, this is a huge
disservice to getting everyone to do what is required by law.
Please, Please. Please. Edit out the safety glasses for protection
against chemical splash. Without any equivocation, I believe they are
totally wrong. ... Jim
