We are considering a return to not requiring the use of seat belts when driving university vehicles. Our reasoning is that the increase comfort & convenience will translate into increased compliance, as well as the idea that the lack of broken clavicles from seatbelts stopping people from flying forward in head-on collisions will result in lower workers’ compensation costs.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Visor-gogs

We are considering returning to use of Visor-Gogs® for chemistry lab students, as well as art studio activities.  Our reasoning is that increased comfort will translate into increased compliance,  as well as the idea that the less irritated the wearer’s eyes/face are from the goggles, the less likely one is to reach in to rub with a potentially chemically-contaminated finger.

Please offer feedback, or other information, positive and negative, on the use of Visor-Gogs® as PPE.

Thanks,

Barry Ferm
