I mean seriously. The whole safety glasses thing isn't a tried and true system, and now they want to get even more complicated?? How many people you see in the pits think it's ok to not wear glasses when in the walkways? Is it? Idk. I know my work site has places designated saftey glass zones (inside the yellow and black caution tape - similar to your actual pit) while outside the taped zone (similar to the walkway in front of the pits) are non-safety glass required zones.

Sometimes I think some of these rules are just written based on the current OSHA "work force" standards, and are not adapted at all to FIRST Robotics "competition life" ways of working.

I mean, safety is the key to it all, there is no denying this.. but who was hurt last year by wearing tinted or reflective glasses?

If they were wearing them, they were safe from flying debris in the eyes which is the whole point of wearing safety glasses. We don't mix chemicals in the pits (or shouldn't) and we don't deal with lasers (or shouldn't).

So.....

Note for the Plano Lenses which is the most common type I see at FIRST events:

Are available in clear, filtered, or tinted lenses
Just give us a link next time FIRST to something that is industry proven & we can rely on and that the safety inspectors won't be biased to by funky wording when handing us them little green poker chips in the pits.
