An optically clear safety shield, formed from a plate of Plexiglas, is mounted in a spaced-apart relationship from the viewing port on the outer surface of a vacuum or high pressure chamber. Because of the air gap between the viewing port and the safety shield, the shield is not subject to the cyclic stresses placed on the viewing window which tend to make it fail. Flying debris from a shattered viewing port window is deflected by the safety shield away from personnel and instruments in the vicinity of the chamber.
