What should be worn to protect eyes during chemical service procedures?

Contact lenses
Regular glasses
Safety goggles
Face mask

The correct answer is: Safety goggles

Safety goggles are essential during chemical service procedures to protect the eyes from potential splashes, drips, or fumes that can occur when working with various cosmetic chemicals such as hair dyes, relaxers, or skin treatments. These substances can be irritating or harmful if they come into contact with the eyes. Safety goggles are specifically designed to provide a barrier that prevents these chemicals from making direct contact with the eyes, offering a secure fit that regular glasses or contact lenses cannot guarantee. Regular glasses may not provide sufficient coverage, and contact lenses can trap chemicals against the eye, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a face mask primarily protects against inhalation during certain procedures, but it does not shield the eyes. Thus, safety goggles are the most appropriate option for ensuring eye safety in a salon environment during such procedures.
