Work Related Safety Glasses

Types of occupation with highest risk of eye injury are construction, welding and mining.  But they are not the only occupations that can put your eyes at risk.  Other jobs with potential eye injuries are:

- those that produce hazardous projectiles ie. dust, metal, wood particles

- chemical laboratories

- radiation ie. UV radiation, lasers or infrared radiation

- blood borne pathogens ie. medical staff

​

Hence, choosing the right safety glasses is extremely important.  They must be dispensed with proper side shield attachments for maximum protection.  ANSI standards must be met and impact resistant lenses must be used, rather than standard lenses.
