Eye protection is needed whenever there is a possibility of eye injury from the work being done. That means during operations that involve hazards to the eyes. Examples include grinding, cutting, hammering, handling chemicals, or any task that can produce flying debris, chemical splashes, or bright/ultraviolet light. In those eye-hazard situations, protective eyewear acts as a barrier to prevent injury. The other options don’t fit: not every task has eye hazards, lunch breaks aren’t hazardous, and never would ignore real risk. Therefore, eye protection is worn during eye hazardous operations.
