Industrial Safety Glasses

Q: What does the ANSI Z87.1 marking on safety glasses mean?

The marking Z87 or Z87+ on safety glasses indicates that the eyewear meets the ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 standard for impact protection. Z87 means the lenses and frames pass basic impact tests, while Z87+ indicates they meet higher, high-impact requirements used in more demanding industrial environments.

Q: Which lens tint should I choose for my work?

For indoor work with standard lighting, clear lenses are usually best. For outdoor tasks in bright sunlight, grey or smoke tints reduce glare while maintaining true color recognition. For environments with strong artificial UV (such as certain curing lamps), look for lenses marked with high UV protection levels (for example, U6 under ANSI Z87.1 or appropriate EN 170 markings).

Your eyes are irreplaceable, yet many workplace tasks send flying chips, sparks, dust, or chemical splashes directly toward your face. A good pair of Safety Glasses is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent serious eye injuries. Whether you are cutting metal, mixing chemicals, or working outdoors under harsh sunlight, certified protective eyewear creates a clear shield between your eyes and everyday hazards.

Modern safety glasses are designed to combine strong protection with all-day comfort and clear vision:

Certified Impact Protection: Our lenses are made from impact-resistant polycarbonate and are tested to meet standards such as ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 and EN 166. This means the frames and lenses can withstand the force of steel ball impact tests without cracking or shattering, helping to prevent injuries from flying debris, grinding sparks, or accidental tool slips.
Wraparound Frames & Side Coverage: Unlike regular fashion glasses, safety spectacles use wraparound lens designs or integrated side shields to protect from the front and the sides. This reduces the risk of hazards entering around the edges, especially in busy workshops where other people’s work can generate unexpected projectiles.
Comfortable & Clear Vision: Lightweight frames, soft nose pads, and flexible temple arms help the glasses stay comfortable and secure through a full shift. Optional coatings such as anti-fog, anti-scratch, and UV400 protection keep your vision clear when you move between hot and cold areas, or work outdoors in bright sunlight.

Ready for Any Job Task
From basic clear-lens glasses for indoor assembly work to tinted lenses for outdoor construction, there is a safety glasses style to match every task. Choosing the right model for your environment encourages workers to keep their protection on at all times, drastically reducing the risk of avoidable eye injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the ANSI Z87.1 marking on safety glasses mean?

The marking Z87 or Z87+ on safety glasses indicates that the eyewear meets the ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 standard for impact protection. Z87 means the lenses and frames pass basic impact tests, while Z87+ indicates they meet higher, high-impact requirements used in more demanding industrial environments.

Q: Do I really need safety glasses if I already wear regular prescription glasses?

Yes. Ordinary prescription glasses are not designed or tested to withstand impact from flying particles and often leave large gaps around the sides. You should either wear safety glasses that fit comfortably over your prescription eyewear or use prescription safety glasses that are certified to ANSI Z87.1 or EN 166.

Q: Which lens tint should I choose for my work?

For indoor work with standard lighting, clear lenses are usually best. For outdoor tasks in bright sunlight, grey or smoke tints reduce glare while maintaining true color recognition. For environments with strong artificial UV (such as certain curing lamps), look for lenses marked with high UV protection levels (for example, U6 under ANSI Z87.1 or appropriate EN 170 markings).

Q: How should I clean and store my safety glasses?

Use a soft microfiber cloth and dedicated lens cleaner or mild soapy water to clean the lenses; avoid paper towels or abrasive fabrics that can scratch coatings. When not in use, store your glasses in a protective pouch or hard case to prevent the lenses from being damaged in tool bags or pockets. Replace your eyewear if the lenses become badly scratched, cracked, or if the frame no longer fits securely.
