I see so many unrated glasses at events that I stopped even commenting. The worst offenders are those that wear regular non-safety rated perscription glasses with flimsy plastic sides shields. I see them at every event and they do not adequetely prevent debris from getting to the eyes.

For that matter when grinding you should be wearing glasses and a face shield or goggles that seal tightly to the face. NO ONE FOLLOWS THIS AT EVENTS!

Then said tracking light is a safety hazard and should not get through inspection because everyone else in the building is dealing with it.

I wear Oakley Radars with a clear lens occansionallyto the shop and evants, I originally got an array of lenses for biking, all Oakley lenses meet or exceed all safety requirements for ANSI impact testing, but only the "sports" glasses typically meet the side shield requirements.
