Eye/Face Protection


	Eye and face protection must be worn where there is potential for injury to the eyes or face. [1910.266(d)(1)(vii)] The protective equipment must comply with ANSI standards [1910.133(b)] (Subpart I, ANSI Z87.1-1989 if purchased after July 5, 1994, or ANSI Z87.1-1968 if purchased before July 5, 1994). Logger type mesh screens are considered to be adequate eye and face protection for chain saw operators.
