As part of a risk assessment for operation of a pressure washer all persons are required to wear eye protection. I have been asked to confirm what standard of eye protection is required, ie BS or EN number. Can anyone advise the correct standard or better yet point me in the direction where I can find this for future reference? Cheers

EN166 my friend. You can find out specifics on EN166 from plenty of sources if you google EN166. Have alook at the following link for some more info. http://www.renalli.com/s...ce-protection.asp?cdir=2
