Safety glasses for spectacle wearers.

[Gordon WParticipant @gordonw]

This is getting a long way from eye protection at times- I still favour a visor. The only difference I can see (getit?).between my glasses with plastic lenses and pucka safety glasses is the side protection. I have been thinking quite a lot about safety in the last few weeks and have come to the conclusion that the single most dangerous thing is working when tired, that's when silly mistakes are made and shortcuts are taken.

Hi Gordon, the lenses in safety glasses may look the same, however they must resist the minimum impact levels to be classed as safety glasses. Ordinary glasses may or may not be capable of the minimum impact levels.

I do agree tiredness can lead to silly mistakes and should be avoided.

Regards Nick.

Bandersnatch, I guess that you must have just bought one of those EMG12 end mill sharpeners?

Comes with it, John – didn't Ketan make that clear?
