When cutting stone, very fine dust particles are produced, which pose a serious risk to both eye and respiratory health. To protect your eyes effectively, you should wear a goggle marked with a ‘5’ on the frame or body. This marking under EN 166 indicates protection against dust particles.
Key features of suitable goggles include:
A ‘5’ dust protection marking
An unvented body to prevent dust entry
An anti-mist/anti-fog lens for clear vision in dusty environments
For the goggle to perform effectively, it must form a tight seal against the face. Poor fitting can allow dust to enter the goggle body and compromise safety. Always refer to the user instruction leaflet for guidance on proper fitting and adjustment.
In addition to eye protection, it is equally important to consider appropriate respiratory protection when working in dusty conditions, especially when cutting stone, to prevent inhalation of fine particles.
Summary of key points:
- Use goggles marked with ‘5’ for dust protection.
- Goggles should have an unvented design and anti-mist lens.
- Ensure a tight fit against the face – follow the user instructions.
- Respiratory protection is also essential when cutting stone.
