1. Step away, remove helmet.
2. Take goggles off.
3. Throw them in the trash.
4. Pull ut safety glasses in bunker coat.
5. Put them on and never look back.

I keep my goggles on my helmet for that "just in case" time that I don't have my safety glasses, or more often, loan my glasses to someone else that didn't have their eye pro.
If you have time, spit in your goggles. Not perfect, but helps.

I don't have goggles on my helmet, and I'm not real sure if this will help. However, I put toothpaste on the inside of my scuba mask and that helps with the fogging. Just rub it in and rinse out the excess. I would start with just a little since safety goggle lenses are plastic as opposed to scuba goggle lenses which are made of glass, and I'm not sure if toothpaste will mess with plastic. I doubt it will though.

Be VERY careful with toothpaste - Most toothpast products contain a very fine "gritty" compound called pumice and it will scratch plastic (trust me I used to use toothpaste to polish metal gears in R/C car transmissions years ago).
Since I seldom use my goggles (safety glasses rock!!) I don't really do anything to keep them from fogging but there's a compound called "Cat Crap" (no not REAL cat crap) that gets very good reviews. Bikers use it on their visors.

You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, 'Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!' That would be bad."

You can buy anti-fog coatings in most dive shops. However I have yet to find a goggle that doesn't fog regardless. One of the reasons I think the NFPA thoughts about making goggles the required eye protection the standard is foolish.

There is a spray used to keep the a hockey helmet shield from fogging. It'll neeed to be re-applied every couple of days. You could also use shaving cream, which I think will last longer.

Johnson and Johnson no tears shampoo works just like Rain X and will not harm the plastic. Use a small amount and let dry. Buff it off. Works for quite a while too. The Cat Crap works and I have some I bought years ago at a ski shop.
