But, unfortunately, the description above is both incomplete and incorrect.
There are five distinct types of goggles.
It is incomplete because it does not include "cup goggle, indirect
ventilation" (K) and does not provide the full correct names of the devices.
It is incorrect because it misnames "Cover goggle, direct ventilation" (I).
There is no listed device "vented." And, these are not splash goggles (see
below)
The other correct names are "cup goggle, direct ventilation" (J); cover
goggle, no ventilation (G); and cover goggle, indirect ventilation (H).
The only listed devices for chemical splash are G, H, and K. For irritating
mists ... G.
