Eye and face protection.

You must provide, at no cost to the employee, and ensure that each employee wears:

(1) Eye protection meeting the requirements of WAC 296-800-160, where there is potential for eye injury from falling or flying objects; and

(2) Face protection meeting the requirements of WAC 296-800-160, where there is potential for facial injury such as, but not limited to, operating a chipper. An employee using a chain saw may use either eye or face protection.

Note:

The employee does not have to wear separate eye protection when the face protection also covers the eyes.

Note:

Mesh type screen goggles or face shields, which conform to ANSI Z87.1, may be used while operating a chain saw or during chipping operations.
