Safety Goggles

Safety goggles make up a critical part of our eye protection range; their larger size offers more protection and load distribution than safety glasses, making them suitable for use with power tools. Protective eye goggles also provide excellent protection for your eyes against liquid droplets, which could otherwise go over or under standard safety spectacles.

With their enclosed nature, eye protection goggles are also better than safety glasses for environments with lots of dust. The tight seal formed between the goggles and your face ensures that dust particles, for the most part, are kept out. If dealing with extremely fine irritating dust or gasses, you can get an unvented pair of work goggles to keep your eyes safe.

All eye goggles we supply have class 1 quality optics, making them suitable for all-day use without worrying about eye strain. This optical clarity also makes our goggles ideal for use in environments where detail is key, such as in laboratories where measurements need to be pinpoint and accurate.

When To Wear Eye Safety Goggles

PPE Safety goggles should be your go-to protective measure against eye injuries whenever you pick up a power tool or deal with fine dust, chemicals or gasses.

They are best for applications where:

• You are using hand tools that produce flying debris.
• You are dealing with fine dust.
• You are dealing with gasses that would go behind a visor or spectacles.
• You are at risk of droplets of liquid hitting your eyes.

Below we have put together some of the features and details of where you may want to consider different levels of face protection. Remember, there are instances where you may need to wear goggles and a face shield at the same time; For example, you are at risk of high-speed impacts from a tool that is creating lots of fine dust (you would also want to consider some RPE, too at this point).
