Eye protection is essential for safeguarding your vision against various hazards, including flying debris, chemical splashes, and harmful radiation. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, goggles, face shields, and helmets are specifically designed to shield the eyes and face from potential injuries. Selecting the appropriate type of eye protection depends on the specific risks present in your environment.
Safety glasses are designed to provide impact protection and are available with various coatings, lens types, and fit options to suit different work tasks and industries. For environments with dust, splash, or vapor hazards, safety goggles create a protective seal around the eyes, offering enhanced protection. Some goggles are designed to fit over prescription eyeglasses, ensuring clear vision without compromising safety.
