The Importance of Safety glasses & its type

We offer ANSI-compliant safety glasses from industry leaders in safety equipment. OSHA requirements state that protective eyewear and face devices must comply with ANSI Z87.1 (American Standard Protection). ANSI Z87.1 requires that all lenses be permanently imprinted with the manufacturer's monogram and all frames marked "Z87". Our safety glasses also have impact-resistant lenses and strong frames to protect your eyes from flying particles.

Why should wear:

You should wear safety eyewear simply because they are the best defense against eye injuries. They protect your eyes from a myriad of potential hazards at work, home and outdoors. In a comprehensive way, safety eyewear saves businesses and workers a tremendous amount of time and money. And if this evidence isn’t convincing enough, the benefits also have a significant impact on overall, long-term eye health.

Require in Workplaces:

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) is the agency of the DOL responsible for setting and enforcing protective workplace safety and health standards. Included in their standards are guidelines and requirements for selecting the best safety eyewear for virtually every workplace situation.

OSHA mandates the use of ANSI Z87.1 certified safety eyewear and also requires employers to provide the eye protection appropriate for the particular hazards involved with the current task. Employers who fail to do so are subject to fines ranging from around $12,500 to $125,000 for each instance.

Types of Safety glasses:

  • Photochromic Safety Glasses:

Don’t you just hate it when you are wearing your safety glasses and have to be interrupted by the process of switching out your lenses to adjust to the new lighting conditions? After all, if you have any experience with wearing safety glasses, you know that clear lenses are best for indoor situations, but if you need extra protection, you probably require a new shade. Instead of wasting time switching your lenses out, why not invest in a pair of photochromic safety glasses to make your life easier

Obviously forensic glasses are a huge asset for investigators and in some cases they are absolutely necessary.
