Helmet Mounted Eye Protection

Combine two vital pieces of PPE with helmet mounted eye protection. Quickly and easily flick down a visor or spectacles to protect your eyes when necessary. Not only is this more convenient than separate safety glasses, it minimises the risk of misplacing your PPE. Select from a clear or smoked lens depending on your preference, and with both offering unimpaired colour perception, you can continue to work without any hindrance.

About Helmet Mounted Eye Protection

In environments where head and eye protection are mandatory, wearing them together can often be extremely uncomfortable or even painful. Combining the two is not only more comfortable while still compatible with British regulations, but also reduces the likelihood of workers losing or forgetting specific components of PPE. Helmet-mounted flip-down eye protection is a very popular solution for this.

Mist Resistant Eye Protection

Mist-resistant eye protection is designed to maintain clear vision in humid or moist conditions, like labour-intensive work sites, It prevents fogging, which can obscure visibility and can lead to accidents. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where temperature changes or physical exertion may cause lenses to mist up.

Key Considerations With Helmet Mounted Eye Protection

Before choosing the best helmet-mounted eye protection, consider the following factors to ensure it meets your needs:

Compatibility

What type of helmet do you want to attach your eye protection to? Ensure that the eye protection you choose is compatible with the helmet you choose. Usually, this means picking both from the same brand.

Visibility Of Visors

Consider the visibility requirements for the task at hand. Clear visors or lenses provide unobstructed vision, while tinted or shaded options may be necessary for tasks involving bright lights or glare.

Mist Resistance

Does your eye protection mist up when you work too hard? Much of our eye protection has optional mist-resistant coatings to make working with it more bearable. This is especially useful in humid or moist conditions and environments with extreme temperature changes. Look for an N-rating for anti-mist and fogging.

Durability & Maintenance

Eye protection should be durable enough to withstand your site and task-specific conditions, such as exposure to chemicals, extreme temperatures, heavy use, and impacts. Look for K-rated helmet-mounted safety glasses for improved resistance to scratches and surface damage caused by fine particles. For more longevity from your eye protection, choose a product with readily available replacements or spare parts.

Impact Resistance

Ensure the eye protection is rated for the level of impact it could encounter. When working with hand tools, EN166 F-rating for low-energy impacts is suitable. A higher B or A rating is required when working with power tools.

Comfort

The most important feature of eye protection is comfort, as many workers refuse to wear it when it is uncomfortable or painful. Ensure your chosen eye protection has a high optical clarity rating, which reduces the strain on the eyes and allows the user to wear the protection for longer.

Safety Standards

Ensure that your eye protection conforms to any relevant local safety standards for any site-specific risks. For example, ensure that your choice protects against sunlight when working in bright conditions or against high-speed debris in forestry environments.

Gases & Fine Particles

If you work in an environment with irritating or hazardous gasses and particles, you may prefer to wear goggle-style helmet-mounted eye protection to considerably reduce particle contact with your eyes.
