We all know how important our eyes are, but how many of us wear the correct eye protection? With 45% of all head injuries being to the eye, and 90% of eye injuries being preventable with the use of appropriate safety eyewear it is essential that workers have the correct eye protection for their job.
At Get Real Workwear & Safety, our range of safety eyewear meet all industry requirements for protection from sun damage, dust and particles. Our range of glasses offer a wide range of functions from anti-fog to category-specific lenses designed by people who wear safety eyewear and are committed to the highest comfort and function standards.
Whether you are a forklift driver working in a factory with LED lighting, construction operator working outdoors, or behind a computer absorbing blue light from your monitor, there are lenses available for any environment - all with the ability to protect your eyes.
When choosing safety eyewear, it's important to consider both the frame and lenses. The equipment should first and foremost protect from the risks at hand, such as chemical, mechanical, radiation, or other hazards. This does not negate the importance of style and comfort for the wearer.
Some considerations when choosing safety eyewear:
1. Pressure Points: ensure there are no pressure points on your nose bridge, head or behind your ears.
2. Comfort: look for hard and soft components for added comfort for all-day wear.
3. Work type: think about environment e.g., when working around dust and chemicals, choose impact-resistant eyewear like goggles.
Having the right protective eyewear for the job does more for workers than just help them see better: it will help them be great at what they do and unlock their full potential. Ideally, the wearer should forget they are wearing safety eyewear at all, when donning a pair of glasses that combine optimum lenses and frames.
At Get Real Workwear & Safety, we understand that the right safety eyewear is essential to getting the job done safely and efficiently.
