 Safety Glasses I would be concerned about wearing vintage safety glasses. To what standard were they built if any? I suspect that many were not built to any standard and most have glass lenses. These will shatter much easier than plastic. Removing glass from your eye is much more difficult than steel as steel is magnetic. Modern safety glasses are available in vintage styles except for the plastic side guards. Remember over half of all treated eye injuries occur from none powered tools. (hammers, chisels, screwdrivers, wrenches, pry bars etc)  |
