Eye Protection
Eye protection is essential in industrial, commercial, and maintenance environments where workers may be exposed to flying debris, chemical splashes, dust, or intense light. RSP Supply carries a full line of eye protection products designed to help reduce the risk of eye injuries while maintaining clear visibility and comfort during use. Common options include impact-resistant safety glasses, sealed safety goggles, and full-coverage face shields.
Safety glasses and goggles are the most widely used forms of protective eyewear. Safety glasses provide frontal and side protection and are often compatible with other personal protective equipment, such as hard hats and hearing protection. Safety goggles offer a more enclosed fit, helping protect against liquid splashes, chemical vapors, and fine particulates. Many goggles feature anti-fog coatings and indirect ventilation to improve visibility in demanding environments.
Prescription safety glasses combine vision correction with protective features, allowing users who require corrective lenses to maintain compliance with safety requirements. These glasses can be fitted with side shields and impact-resistant lenses to provide the same level of protection as non-prescription safety eyewear. Selecting the appropriate eye protection depends on the specific hazards present, proper fit, and compatibility with other protective equipment.
More Information about Eye Protection
Prescription glasses or safety glasses with prescription lenses offer a dual benefit: vision correction and safety features. They provide adequate protection for those who require prescription lenses from the kinds of hazards that necessitate safety eyewear, and they do so without compromising visual clarity. Like standard safety glasses, prescription safety glasses can be fitted with side shields, making them as safe as possible for the wearers who are, by definition, at a higher risk of eye injury when working in jobs that have a high risk of eye injury.
