Why should a worker wear safety glasses when using decarbonising brushes?

Decarbonising brushes are wire brushes, often used with power tools, to clean carbon build up from automotive part. They can produce debris that can become airborne, such as carbon particles and metal slivers. These fragments can be harmful if they enter the eyes.

By wearing safety glasses, workers can protect their eyes from potential hazards such as:

* Foreign objects such as carbon particles and metal slivers

* Debris that is propelled by the rotating brush.

* Sparks and hot metal chips that may be generated during decarbonizing process.
