Which eye protection is specified for grinding or chiseling tasks?

• A. Face shield
• B. Welding helmet
• C. Chipping goggles
• D. Goggles without ventilation

Answer: (C)

When grinding or chiseling, flying chips and debris can strike the eyes from multiple angles, so the eye protection needs to seal around the eyes and shield them from particles. Chipping goggles are designed for this exact scenario: they fit snugly around the eye area, provide side protection, and often include indirect ventilation to prevent fogging while keeping debris out. A face shield alone doesn’t guarantee eye protection since particles can still reach the eyes from the sides, and a welding helmet targets arc welding rather than grinding debris. Goggles without ventilation tend to fog up and don’t offer the reliable protection and clear visibility needed for grinding tasks.
