Our employees and anyone entering the area are required to wear safety glasses with side shields. That includes all electronic assembly processes, prep, stuff, wave solder, hand solder, confromal coat, test and final assembly. Regular street glasses are not a substitute for safety glasses and must be covered with safety over glasses.
