What is an effective method to prevent eye contact with pesticides?

Wearing a face shield and goggles is an effective method to prevent eye contact with pesticides because it provides comprehensive coverage and protection for the eyes. Safety goggles are designed to fit tightly around the eyes, reducing the risk of pesticide particles or splashes reaching them. When combined with a face shield, which protects the entire face and extends coverage, this method creates a barrier against harmful chemicals.

Regular glasses may not offer sufficient protection since they often do not fully seal around the eyes and can allow chemicals to seep in from the sides. While safety goggles alone provide a higher level of protection than glasses, adding a face shield enhances safety in environments where pesticide exposure is likely. Relying on no protective gear can lead to significant risk of eye injury from chemical exposure, making the use of appropriate protective equipment essential for safety during pesticide application.
