Safety Glasses

Which size or type suits you?

Safety glasses come in different types. Choose a model that fits your face well. Glasses with side shields also protect against dust from the side. Do you already wear glasses? Then choose an over-spec model that fits over your own glasses. Pay attention to the size and fit, because glasses that slip do not protect.

Where ordering goes wrong

Many mechanics order safety glasses without checking the standard. Glasses without the DIN ISO standard do not offer enough protection. Always check that the glasses meet DIN ISO. The coating is also important. An anti-scratch and anti-fog coating keeps your vision clear, even during long use. Without coating, the glasses fog up quickly and your vision gets worse.

Why a hanging loop is handy

Safety glasses with a hanging loop can be easily attached to your tool or tool box. This way you always have the glasses within reach. That is especially useful when you switch between tasks quickly. Glasses you do not wear do not protect. Choose a model that is comfortable and does not hinder you during work.

Safety glasses fall under personal protection, along with gloves for your hands and other personal protection such as hearing protection and dust masks.
