What about dust goggles and head scarves?

Hi,

I've read a lot about getting a face mask (minimum 3M N95) but what about goggles like 3M™ Virtua Protective Eyewear with Foam Gasket?  And do women wear head scarves to keep the dust off their hair if they have to go out? 

And is this potentially necessary all year round?

I will be working in a bank so I have to wear formal dress.  Would it be weird if I had goggles?

I also hear there are sandstorms in the spring.

Thank you!

Not that scaring as you said. I believe you've been in BJ for a while, and you know better. :)

Goggles? Scarves? Masks?

Yes, Yes, Yes,

Goggles for scuba diving.

Scarves to keep your hair in place whilst speeding in an open-roof sports car.

Masks for Halloween.
