When disconnecting ship to shore sewage, what type of sight protection is used?

Using face shields as sight protection when disconnecting ship to shore sewage is appropriate due to the potential exposure to hazardous materials or splashes from waste. Face shields cover the entire face, providing a higher level of coverage than other options like safety glasses or vented goggles. This is particularly important in scenarios involving sewage, where the risk of direct contact with harmful substances is significant.

Safety glasses primarily protect the eyes but may not provide adequate coverage for the face, which could lead to exposure from splashes. Vented goggles, while beneficial for providing a seal around the eyes, focus on eye protection without shielding the face. Non-vented goggles can protect against particles, but they may not offer enough protection from splashes or spills associated with sewage disconnection, making face shields the most effective choice for this specific situation.
