I supply them to people working in production areas that are handling powders. They work reasonably well for powders, especially when using the strap, but I would not recommend them for protection against liquids.
The cons: they don't work well with respirators and some models significantly reduce visibility.
Engineering controls such as improved dust collection are the preferred option to PPE where possible.

Does anyone have experience with "Spoggles"
(http://copperstatesupplyinc.com/product-category/industrial
-supplies/safety-security/eye-protection/spoggles/)

These are a foam lined eye protection that "seals" to the
face as splash goggles and has the comfort of safety
glasses.
This is for an industrial location, not an academic lab.

Comments are welcome

Thx
