Does anyone know what kind one can use so I can get them? Prescription Safety Glasses that is.

Most RR's provide them to their employees. I don't wear them myself, but I know the deal around here is that you get a prescription from your eye doctor and then the company mails it out to have them made and they mail them to you. I don't work for UP though, so I can't tell you what their program is though.

The glasses must be OSHA approved. They must say Z87 on the frames and side shields. Also, side shields can be removeble, apposed to fixed shields. (UP roadmaster told me this over the weekend)
