Which personal protective equipment provides overall face coverage against flying debris?

Safety glasses
Goggles
Face shield
Welding mask

The correct answer is: Face shield

The choice of a face shield is correct because it offers comprehensive protection for the face against flying debris. Face shields cover the entire face, extending from the forehead to below the chin and from ear to ear. This full coverage is essential in environments where there is a risk of large or small particles, splashes, or other hazardous materials that could potentially cause injury to the face. While safety glasses and goggles provide protection for the eyes, they do not cover the face and therefore do not offer the same level of protection against impacts or projectiles that might hit other areas of the face. A welding mask, although protective, is specifically designed for welding applications and may not be suitable for protecting against general flying debris in other manufacturing or construction environments. Hence, when it comes to overall face coverage, a face shield is the appropriate choice.
