Safety Goggles

Nearly all workplace eye injuries are preventable with the use of correct safety eye-wear. Safety goggles are an effective way to protect users from medium energy impacts and high speed particles caused by flying fragments and debris. If you are using power tools for routing, grinding and sanding a pair of safety goggles may be the most suitable protection for your eyes. Goggles are able to offer higher levels of impact protection than spectacles as the internal rim of the goggle is in permanent contact with the face which not only creates a seal but ensures the lens distance from the eye is maintained preventing the goggle itself from causing damage to the wearer in the event of an impact.

Due to the seal goggles make against the face, they are prone to misting which is why some styles use vents to promote airflow and those which cannot utilise vents feature anti-fog lenses. Depending on their specification some safety goggles can also prevent injury from chemicals, hot liquids and molten metals. As safety goggles may need to be worn for long periods of time it is important to make sure the fit is secure and comfortable.
