  1. Virginia OSHA regulations put the responsibility for ensuring that laboratory workers wear eye protection on the person who is responsible for the laboratory/work spaces.
  2. Eye protection is mandatory for all entries into and work within a lab, where hazardous chemicals are being used.
  3. The level of eye protection required will be determined by the laboratory professor or laboratory instructor.
  4. Eye protection needs to meet ANSI Z87+ requirements. 
  5. Wearers of contact lenses are required to wear the same eye and face protection as non-contact lens wearers. There may be occasions when it is not advisable to wear contact lenses, for example, working with solvents or dust. This will be determined by the person responsible for the laboratory.
