Heh, the funny thing is, in spite of this place across the street from the university and all the labs, plus being the official eye doctors and store for the university, the student said they don't get any business from the labs for the safety -- they all go to another specialized store in Cambridge. 
And isn't ANSI updating their standard? When I was searching on-line for their standards there were some mentions of a newer (as yet unapproved) standard. |
ANSI Z87.1-1989 is the current, and only (if I remember from last years rules ... I don't have a copy in front of me) allowable standard for safety glasses in
FIRST. Any other standard would not be allowed or accepted (unless they change the rules).
If ANSI is making another standard, then it will probably be a few years before it is accepted in the work place (phase in time).
