Occupational Hygiene Practice Test

What hazard do safety goggles protect against?

Noise Heat Dust Vibration

Correct Answer:

Dust

Explanation:

Eye protection focuses on keeping particulates and splashes away from the eyes. Safety goggles create a seal around the eyes and provide a hard, protective surface, so they’re very effective at blocking dust and other fine particles from entering the eye. Dust can irritate the surface or scratch the cornea, so goggles are the appropriate protection in dusty tasks. Noise, heat, and vibration are addressed by other protective measures—ear protection for noise, heat barriers or appropriate PPE for heat, and anti-vibration gear for vibration—so they aren’t what goggles are designed to guard against.
