Safety glasses must be worn any time you are in the shop, including during TA hours.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only during cutting tasks
• D. Only during lab sessions

Answer: (A)

Eye protection is essential in shop environments because debris, dust, and splinters can become airborne from any tool or operation. Hazards can appear even when you’re not actively cutting, so policies typically require safety glasses to be worn any time you’re in the shop, including during TA hours. This ensures you’re protected during setup, adjustments, moving between stations, or when others are using equipment nearby. ANSI-rated safety glasses provide the needed impact protection to prevent potentially permanent eye injuries, making it best practice to keep them on continuously in the shop. So, the statement is True.
