Safety Goggles

We offer a range of Safety Glasses, Safety Spectacles, Safety Goggles and Safety Faceshields that offer leading protection solutions for the workplace.

Eye protection provision and wearing is a requirement under the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations. Eye Protection should be worn in hazardous environments where there is the risk of projectiles damaging the eyes.

Our range of Safety Goggles and Safety Faceshields meets the requirements of EN166, the European Standard for Industrial Eye Protection. This not only includes requirements for liquid, dust and molten metal protection but also impact performance

Before choosing the type of Safety Eyewear you require you should first consider the type of hazard being encountered and the best form of eyewear appropriate for that hazard.

Type of hazard:
Mechanical - Flying debris, dust or molton metal.
Chemical - Fumes, gases or liquid splash.
Radiation - Heat (Infra-red), ultraviolet light or glare.
Laser light - Over a wide spectrum of wavelengths from Ultraviolet to Infra-red.

Type of eye protector:
Safety Spectacles - Comfortable and available in a variety of styles. Will not keep out dust, gas or molten metal. Models are available with prescription lenses.
Safety Goggle - Can provide protection for all types of hazards. May be worn over spectacles.
Safety Faceshield - Protects the face as well as the eyes but does not keep out dust or gas. Comfortable to use for long periods.

If high impact is expected then Safety Goggles or Safety Faceshields are more appropriate as they spread the force of the impact across the face rather than just the nose which is what Safety Glasses do.

Various shades of lenses are available for specialised industries such as Foundries, Glass Working and Welding. Different lens shades can also enhance vision for tasks such as inspection.
