Three safety glasses, clear, amber and smoke are evaluated for arc rating and the effectiveness of common safety glasses in arc flash vs. arc rated shields is discussed. Hugh Hoagland makes the subject interesting and informational for electricians, line technicians and OH&S Safety Professionals. e-Hazard includes this new information for their training on NFPA 70E, NESC and the NEW OSHA 1910.269 standard on arc flash protection and PPE.
