What is the correct step if safety glasses are scratched or worn out?

• A. replace them
• B. continue using them
• C. polish them
• D. wash with soap and water

Answer: (A)

Damage to safety glasses means they no longer reliably protect your eyes. If the lenses are scratched or the frames are worn, vision can be distorted and the lens may fail under impact. Because polishing can alter optics and isn’t guaranteed to restore strength, and washing won’t fix the damage, the safest action is to replace them. Continuing to use damaged glasses increases the risk of eye injury and can put you out of compliance with safety standards, whereas replacing them keeps you protected and allows you to work with clear vision.
