Safety Goggles

When using power tools you should protect your eyes by wearing safety goggles as a bare minimum. Good safety goggles will protect your eyes from flying debris, and can also offer protection against liquid droplets that may irritate the eyes. If working with spices or irritating dusts, gas-sealed goggles are essential. Our range includes protection with anti-scratch coatings, anti-fog technologies and much more - and all our goggles are available with next-day delivery.

About Safety Goggles

Safety goggles offer more protection and load distribution than safety glasses, due to their larger size. This makes them suitable for use with power tools. Protective eye goggles also provide excellent protection against liquid droplets, which could go over or under standard safety spectacles.

Enclosed eye protection goggles are also better for environments with lots of dust, thanks to the tight seal formed between the goggles and your face. If you work with extremely fine irritating dust or gases, an unvented pair of work goggles will keep your eyes safe.

All the eye goggles we supply have class 1 quality optics, so you can use them all day without straining your eyes. This optical clarity also makes them perfect for detailed work, such as in laboratories where measurements need to be pinpoint accurate.

PPE safety goggles are ideal if you're using hand tools that produce flying debris, or dealing with fine dust, gases, or liquid droplets. In some instances you may need both goggles and a face shield (or additional RPE) - for example, if you’re at risk of high-speed impacts from a tool that creates lots of fine dust.

Key features of our work & lab safety goggles

There are lots of factors to consider when buying safety goggles. Here are a few things you’ll need to think about:

Class 1 optical clarity

Our range of safety goggles is suitable for wearing all day long. Class 1 optical clarity means no distortion of vision that can cause eye strain.

Vented or unvented

Choose between vented and unvented goggles. Vented goggles are unsuitable for fine dust or gas - for these applications, you should choose a non-vented goggle.

Liquid droplet protection

All our safety goggles are ideal for catching small amounts of water in the form of droplets. For anything more than this, consider a face shield which can offer proper protection from chemical splashes.

Anti-mist

Any goggles marked as N-rated have anti-fog properties. This property makes them ideal for use in cold environments where fogging and misting can cause issues.

Impact rating

Goggles in our range are rated B for impact resistance, ensuring they can withstand “medium energy impacts up to 120m/s”.

UV protection

Look out for goggles with a 2-, 2C- or 5- marking on the lens, which means they offer UV protection for your eyes. Most goggles made with polycarbonate have this protection built in unless they are meant for medical applications.

Anti-scratch lenses

K-rated scratch-resistant goggles offer protection against scratches caused by fine particles. This helps protect the lens, keeping them clearer for longer, allowing you to see what you are doing and extending the working life of the goggles.

Prescription eyewear compatibility

If you wear prescription glasses, choose goggles compatible with prescription eyewear.

RPE compatibility

If your risk assessment requires you to wear a dust mask or other RPE, ensure that your chosen goggles are compatible.

Helmet compatibility

If you need to wear a helmet with your goggles, choose a low-profile design such as those of the EVO range.
