Face shields give the face full protection when working withchemicals, or flying particles. (When Using Grinders)

Safety glasses may look similar to regular glasses, but theyare much stronger and resistant to impact than regularglasses. Wear them while on deck to prevent dust fromentering the eye.

Goggles give you more protection than safety glasses becausethey fit closer to your face. Wear them when de-rusting orworking around systems with pressure.
