Safety glasses that are provided by the BRAE Department are for visitors or for extras in case of emergency, however there are not enough for ALL STUDENTS working in the labs. It is your responsibility to come prepared to class/lab with the proper PPE which includes your safety glasses. Safety glasses should be approved ANSI Z for full protection. This approval will usually appear in the bottom corner of the glasses to ensure that you have purchased the correct kind. Using ANSI approved safety glasses is very important to achieve the proper level of eye protection needed when working in the labs. ANSI Z Rating
