New developments in the testing and design of anti-mist goggles
Surveys in UK industry have shown that misting of lenses is one of the major reasons given by workers for not wearing protective goggles. The problem arises in many industries. A test method has been developed that enables goggles to be assessed for their ability to resist misting. The method involves the use of an instrumented dummy head designed to simulate condensation of moisture on lenses from the evaporation of moisture around the eyes. Experiments have shown that the provision of adequate air exchange behind the lens is more important than whether the lens is anti-mist coated or double-glazed. Laboratory testing of various goggle designs has led to the development of an anti-mist goggle with superior performance. Prototype testing by industrial workers has proved successful.

Test and evaluation of eye protection spectacles and of protection garments against microwave radiation
Microwave protection afforded by safety spectacles and overalls was studied with the help of dipole and discone antennas at 2.45 and 10.0GHz. Safety spectacles protected eyes at X-band frequencies but not at 2.45GHz. Of the 3 overalls, only 1 offered good protection. Thermographs of the spectacles and overalls taken seconds after termination of irradiation revealed gaps through which radiation penetrated.

A study of burn-through times for laser protective eyewear
Study of the performance of laser protective eyewear currently in use at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: a goggle with a cellulose propionate filter from Glendale Protective Technologies and a goggle with a glass optical filter from Spectra Optics. A new polycarbonate optical filter material from Glendale was studied also, and its performance was compared with that of the cellulose propionate material. The author used three lasers in the study: a single-pulse (variable pulse length) Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064nm; a pulsed-copper-vapour laser with a pulse-repetition frequency of 6.08kHz and a wavelength of 510.6nm; and a pulsed xenon-fluoride laser with a repetition rate variable up to 100Hz and a wavelength of 351nm. Where possible, the output power of each laser was increased systematically to the damage threshold of the material and beyond. The results showed that the new polycarbonate optical filter suffered less damage at equivalent laser beam challenges than the cellulose propionate optical filter. The glass goggle, which was designed specifically for use at the 510.5-nm wavelength, sustained no visible damage from the specified laser light at the highest power levels the authors could achieve.

Impact strength of new and used safety goggles
Tests were made on the lenses of several hundred safety goggles and parameters that were thought to have influenced the impact strength were studied. Most of the goggles were retrieved after various periods of use in a wide range of conditions. The important parameters were ambient temperature and whether the goggles were kept in the original boxes. Most new goggles had insufficient excess strength to allow for deterioration in use. Some goggle frames were also examined. Although a few possessed an impact resistance at least equal to that of the lens, the frames of most types were incapable of resisting the impact of a standard test.

Electro-optical filters for welders. Response time and limitations

Filter requirements are discussed and acceptable starting times to avoid eye damage and glare are calculated. 13 models available on the French market were studied, as were the effects of temperature and supply voltage on their switching time. It was found that at present these filters lack certain qualities that might be expected of them. This may be due to the fact that they are new products which are still in the development process.

Guidelines for contact lens use in industry
National eye organisations in the US recommend that companies establish their own policies on contact lens use. A survey questionnaire was sent to 100 corporations to gather descriptive data on the existence and content of their policies. Data were collected on policy enforcement, areas of contact lens restriction and basis for restriction, identification of workers who wear contacts, and use of eye protection. Among the 67 respondents, 43 companies have a policy on contact lens use. Companies need to identify workers who wear contact lenses. The decision whether or not to allow the use of contact lenses in the industrial environment seems to depend upon the perceived level of risk in a specific environment. More importantly, the current written policies do not appear to recognise the results of recent research. Guidelines for contact lens use are presented.

Misting of eye protectors
A method of quantifying the resistance of eye protection to misting is described. Using the method, the quantity of air required to pass through the protectors to prevent misting under various conditions has been determined. Many types of eye protection have been tested and criteria for resisting misting established. Several designs of goggles are proposed that resist misting under most conditions of use.

Dermatitis from phenyl salicylate in safety spectacle frames
Three cases were reported of allergic contact dermatitis behind the ears from wearing the same brand of industrial safety spectacles. Positive patch tests were obtained with phenyl salicylate, which is used as an ultraviolet inhibitor in some cellulose acetate butyrate and cellulose acetate propionate formulae. It has previously been reported as a contact sensitiser from its use as a sun screen in a lip salve. Positive patch test reactions were also obtained variously in these patients with balsam of Peru, resorcinol monobenzoate, and epoxy resin.

Facial dermatitis from epoxy resin in a helmet
A female farmer who raised pigs developed facial dermatitis several days after beginning to wear an air-fed helmet. The helmet was intended to protect her against allergens in pig fodder. Patch testing revealed an allergy to epoxy compounds. Several seams in the helmet were found to be sealed with an epoxy resin that contained low-molecular-weight epoxy compounds. The dermatitis improved on cessation of exposure.

Protective goggles for operators
Zaščitnye očki dlja operatorov [en ruso]
Surface defects in metal, plastic and glass articles are frequently monitored by ultraviolet defectoscopy. The operators of the inspection equipment must spend long periods of time observing surfaces illuminated by ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 300-400nm. New goggles have been developed to protect the eyes of these operators. The goggles have special glass lenses mounted in vinyl frames. The 2mm-thick lenses pass 85-90% of incident visible light, but absorb most of the incident ultraviolet light, and show very little luminescence themselves.

The protection of loggers' heads and eyes in forestry work
Questionnaires, interviews, observations, accident and near-accident reports, and user and laboratory tests were used to investigate the frequency of the use and protection afforded by the helmet and eye protector in forestry work, and possible improvements. 88% of loggers always used a helmet and 32% an eye protector, in spite of their being compulsory in Finland, 8-15% of logging accidents cause eye injuries. The helmet was too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Design defects of eye protectors, which partly accounted for their low rate of use, were: they become frosted in winter; visibility is poor in the rain or the dark; they cause glare in sunshine. Improvements in the design of helmets and eye protectors are suggested.

Protection of loggers' eyes
Metsurin silmien suojaaminen [en finlandés]
3 types of eye protecting equipment used by loggers were tested under summer and winter conditions. Tested were: the light transmission factor through the netting or plastic sheets used; glare; penetration of sawdust; frosting in cold weather. Partially based on these tests a new eye protector was designed giving better protection and costing less.
