What to look for when buying

Choose the design to match the hazard. According to their description, the closed full-vision goggles provide all-round protection against splashes, dust and particles. The lightweight safety glasses with arms are intended for general eye protection in workshops and laboratories; the tinted version has an anti-fog coating.

For people who wear glasses, the full-vision goggles are suitable as they fit over prescription glasses. For outdoor work or glare, choose the tinted version. The safety glasses come 12 to a carton and can be ordered from 12; the full-vision goggles come 10 to a carton with a minimum of 50.
