Keeping your eyes safe and protected on the job is important.  Typically, one may think of the basic, clear wrap-around glasses, but did you know that safety eyewear comes in a variety of shapes, styles, colors and sizes too.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.gov), an estimated 2,000 workers suffer eye injuries on the job every day. How can you protect yourself? First be aware of the work area, second adhere to safety standards put in place and lastly, make sure you have the right type of eye protection. Accidents occur in all industries, with about half of the workers with reported injuries are employed in a manufacturing setting (BLS.gov). To help keep you safe on the job, make sure you wear the proper protection and look for the ANSI Z87.1 certification on all eyewear protection you choose. 

Safety Glasses: Designed to keep eyes protected from flying debris while on the job. Many of the top manufacturers have created an array of styles to meet everyone workers needs. Jackson Safety, Uvex, Crews, Harley-Davidson and Smith & Wesson are just a few of the brand names to choose from and each offers a wide selection of frame and lens colors too.

Safety Goggles: Are forms of protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect the eye area in order to prevent particulates, infectious fluids, or chemicals from striking the eyes. Safety googles can easily fit over hard hats and eyeglasses, making them ideal for many work situations and most lenses are also fog-resistant which helps extend the viewing range when wearing goggles.

Cleaning Stations: Easy to use, easy to install and helps to remind employees to frequently clean their safety eyewear. Choose from different cleaning formula types, as well as, the types of station to fit your overall needs. Stations come in either permanent or disposable dispenser.

Eyewear Accessories: Don’t forget about all the fantastic accessories available for safety eyewear. Choose from spectacle sideshields to add some extra protection to glasses, or choose the eyewear hanging cords or cases that provide convenience and help extend the life of the eyewear.
