- The training program includes a pre-learning phase that allows participants to familiarize themselves with foundational concepts before engaging in in-person interactions with the facilitator.
- Following the pre-learning phase, participants will have the opportunity to meet with the facilitator in a physical classroom setting. This direct interaction is crucial for addressing any questions or concerns that may have arisen during the self-study period.
- Additionally, the physical classroom component is designed to facilitate hands-on practical training. This aspect of the program allows participants to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios, enhancing their understanding and retention of the material. Working under the guidance of an experienced facilitator, learners can practice skills, collaborate with peers, and gain valuable insights that are difficult to achieve through online learning alone.
- Overall, this structured approach—combining pre-learning with direct facilitator contact and practical classroom experiences—ensures a comprehensive and effective learning journey that accommodates various learning styles and maximizes participant engagement.

What Types of Eye and Face Protection Are Available?
According to the American National Standards Institute some of the most common types of eye and face protection include31the PPE listed in Table 5.3 below. Table 5.4 indicates when to wear the different types of protective devices.
Table 5.2: Types of Eye and Face Protection30
Type Description Safety Glasses Safety glasses have safety frames constructed of metal or plastic and impact-resistant lenses. Side protection is required. Chemical Splash Goggles Tight fitting eye protection that completely covers the eyes, eye sockets and facial area surrounding the eyes. Provides protection from impact, dust, and splashes. Dust Goggles Dust goggles, sometimes called direct ventilated goggles, are tight fitting eye protection designed to resist the passage of large particles into the goggles. Fluid Resistant Shields These shields are fluid resistant or impervious and provide splash protection from biological material, such as human or non-human primate body fluids. These shields do not provide protection against chemicals or impact hazards. Face Shields These shields extend from the eyebrows to below the chin and across the width of the employee’s head. Face shields protect against potential splashes or sprays of hazardous liquids. When worn for protection against UV, must be specifically designed to protect the face and eyes from hazardous radiation. Laser Eyewear Protective eyewear is required for Class 3 and 4 laser use where irradiation of the eye is possible. Such eyewear should be used only at the wavelength and energy/power for which it is intended. Welding Shields Constructed of vulcanized fibre or fiberglass and fitted with a filtered lens, welding shields protect eyes from burns caused by infrared or intense radiant light; they also protect both the eyes and the face from flying sparks, metal splatter and slag chips produced during welding, brazing, soldering, and cutting operations.
Table 5.3: Eye Protection for the Specific Hazards30
*Hazardous chemicals pose a wide range of health hazards (such as irritation, sensitization, and carcinogenicity) and physical hazards (such as flammability, corrosion, and reactivity)30. Hazard Hazard Description Type of PPE Additional Application Chemicals Hazardous* dry chemicals and small amounts of hazardous liquid chemicals Safety glasses Eye protection is required when working with chemicals on the bench or in a fume hood Hazardous* chemicals that pose a splash hazard Chemical splash goggles Cryogenic liquids Chemical splash goggles and a face shield Highly reactive or explosive materials Chemical splash goggles and a face shield Blast shield recommended Pyrophoric solids or liquids Chemicals splash goggles Biological Material Potentially infectious materials, including BSL2 microorganisms and viruses, human and non-human primate material, outside of a biosafety cabinet Safety glasses plus mask or face shield Eye protection is typically not required when working in a biosafety cabinet, except if other hazardous materials are being handled in the lab. Eye protection may be needed when removing items from the biosafety cabinet. Radiation Unsealed radioactive materials, liquid or powder Safety glasses Lasers Eyewear is dependent on wavelength and energy/power of laser Contact Laser Safety Officer at 8-6271 Open ultraviolet light source Face shield with UV protection Infrared emitting equipment Shaded goggles Machining and Physical Hazards Soldering, spatter of flux or hot metal Safety glasses or chemical splash goggles Furnaces, molten metal or glass, heat, sparks, glare Dust goggles, reflective face shield Chips, particles, dust, glass shards Safety glasses Glassware under pressure Safety glasses or chemical splash goggles Cutting/connecting glass tubing Safety glasses Welding and brazing operations For protection from radiant energy, workers must use personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, goggles, welding helmets, or welding face shields. Changing out compressed gas cylinders, affixing regulator to cylinder Safety glasses Use of compressed air for cleaning equipment Dust goggles Use of compressed air for personal cleaning is prohibited
