Commonly asked questions

Need advice on what type of eye protection to choose? We’ve got you covered.

Can you give me some advice on PPE eye protection?

From the applicable EN BS standards to your level of exposure to chemicals and debris, there’s a lot to consider when choosing eye protection.

Generally, you will want to wear safety specs for general eye safety, goggles for chemical or dust risks, and full-face visors in high-risk environments for complete facial protection.

To ensure full protection and compliance, we can work with you to assess your risk and recommend the best solutions.

Do I need safety specs or safety goggles?

This depends entirely on your use case.

Specs provide eye protection from minor impacts, such as when working with hand tools or in construction. They shield your eyes but leave other facial areas exposed.

Safety goggles are more suitable for dealing with chemicals, airborne particles, or potential splashes. They provide a sealed fit to prevent irritants from reaching your eyes and offer superior protection.

What are the safety standards for PPE eye protection?

The most relevant are:

EN 166: This standard specifies the general requirements for eye protection, including impact resistance and optical quality.

EN 170: This covers UV filters for protection against ultraviolet radiation.

EN 172: This focuses on sun glare filters for industrial use.

EN 175: This pertains to equipment for eye and face protection during welding and related processes.

If you need to adhere to a specific standard, we can assist.

Can eye protection be worn over prescription glasses?

Yes! We do offer prescription safety glasses and many of the products we offer can also be worn over prescription eyewear.

We generally advise wearing safety glasses over your regular eyeglasses to protect both your eyes and glasses.

For the best protection vs. cost, opt for safety glasses tailored for comfortable wear over prescription eyeglasses.
