What regulations govern the use of safety glasses in laboratories?
The use of safety glasses in laboratories is governed by several regulations and standards. In the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets forth guidelines under standard 29 CFR 1910.133 regarding eye and face protection. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) also provides standards, specifically ANSI Z87.1, which outlines the requirements for safety glasses. Compliance with these regulations ensures a baseline level of safety in laboratory environments.
