Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — Full-face shield and safety goggles

For maximum protection against high-velocity airborne impact hazards, a combination of safety goggles and a full-face shield is required. The goggles provide a seal around the eyes, while the face shield protects the entire facial area from flying debris, meeting stringent OSHA and maritime safety requirements for hazardous work.
