Safety glasses can prevent foreign objects or debris from damaging your vision. Dangerous particles or chemicals could be floating around in your workplace. Construction, welding, maintenance, mining, and other dangerous jobs can harm your vision.
Eyeglasses - The glasses you wear every day may not be adequate protection.
Safety glasses - Protection for tasks such as sawing, hammering and drilling.
Safety goggles - More coverage shields against dust, liquids, optical radiation or high-heat hazards.
Whether you’re wearing protective eyewear at home or safety glasses for work, here are some important tips:
A Z87+ rating on the frame - This rating indicates the frame meets standards set by the American National Standards Institute. The plus mark indicates approval for use in high-impact situations.
Comfortable and adjustable frame - Adjustable construction allows for customization for the right fit.
Protective polycarbonate eyewear - The durable lenses are lightweight and help shield the eyes from impact hazards such as flying fragments or particles.
Little to no gaps at the hinges - The bigger the gap, the more exposure to hazards.
Work - If your job primarily involves auto repair, carpentry, construction, driving, electrical work, healthcare, laboratory, janitorial, manufacturing, plumbing or welding, eye protection is important.
Home - Wear protective eyewear when making repairs and improvements around the house, working in the yard, cooking foods with grease or grilling over an open flame, cleaning with strong chemicals, making car repairs, performing home maintenance or using bungee cords to secure heavy loads.
Play - Keep sports fun and help avoid eye injuries. Try safety glasses with anti-reflective coating for outdoor activities such as hunting, shooting or fishing. Eye guards made of polycarbonate generally provide UV protection and are thinner, shatterproof and lighter.
