vacuum excavation sounds like a real party

For vac ex crew you might look into some of the goggles that dirt bike racers and the like use with plastic tear-offs to clear the mud. When I have run the vac to be honest I found safety glasses too annoying to use because they got dirty in about 10 seconds and once you're covered in mud there's nothing to wipe them clean with.

    We provide our employees an orange vest and hard hat.  We tell
    them they need steel toed boots.
    We don’t provide safety glasses.
    Had a new guy work 7 hours and quit a couple of weeks ago.  Today
    he calls and claims an eye injury from mud during potholing. 
    Threatening legal action, called my wife a F...... C...
    (He did not report the injury to anyone at the time.  We are
    starting workers compensation process just in case.  Not sure he
    even went to the doctor).
    I called him and we had an interesting conversation.  He was on
    speaker phone, Jenny was standing here, I recorded it.  Was an
    asshole but I convinced him to do the right thing. He apologized.
    Pretty sure he did not want what was going to come next if he did
    not apologize.
    Do y’all provide safety glasses?  I think we will start now. 
    Potholing does spray mud.  And they are cheap.
    I was fixin’ to go to jail a half hour ago.   Fun day...
