What is the correct approach when using a helmet with a face screen or shield?

No additional eye protection is needed
Enough visibility can be provided through the face screen alone
Separate eye protection is needed
Only the face shield is sufficient for eye protection

The correct answer is: Separate eye protection is needed

Using a helmet with a face screen or shield requires a comprehensive understanding of personal protective equipment (PPE) standards in order to ensure safety while working. The inclusion of a face screen or shield primarily serves to protect the face from flying debris, but it does not cover the eyes entirely or provide sufficient protection against all potential hazards. Therefore, separate eye protection is needed to guard against particles that could bypass the face shield, along with offering additional protection from various types of eye injuries. Different tasks may produce specific risks that a face screen alone cannot adequately address, such as chemicals, intense light, or very small particles. In contrast, simply relying on the face screen without appropriate eye protection could leave the worker vulnerable to injuries, highlighting the importance of using both a shield and dedicated eye protection for comprehensive safety. This dual layer of protection ensures that all areas are adequately safeguarded against hazards.
