Science Common Sense

188 - Why do we need to wear safety goggles in a lab?

In a lab, you need to wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from any accidents. When scientists mix chemicals or do experiments, sometimes things can go wrong and splashes or spills can happen. If chemicals get into your eyes, it can be very painful and even hurt your eyesight permanently. Safety goggles help keep your eyes safe by blocking any chemicals or broken glass that might come your way.
