Is it ok to remove the elastic straps from the protective eyewear used in my facility in order to prevent tan lines and discomfort?
No. Protective eyewear must be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s design. If the eyewear is manufactured to use straps it must be used with straps to ensure protection from UV light. If your facility would like to offer strapless eyewear, there are FDA compliant brands available that are manufactured to be used without straps and still offer maximum protection.
