Your eyes are very important and are easily damaged. Eye protection should never be compromised, Injuries to the eyes can be very serious and so adequate eye protection should be worn at every opportunity.

 

   

 

Safety sign

The eye protection that you will need will depend on the job that you are doing, cutting acrylic sheet with a circular saw would be a lot safer with a pair of safety glasses, but these would offer little or no protection when using chemicals!

safety glasses

Safety glasses are designed to offer some, but not full protection to the eyes.

Glasses are the minimum protection you can use and can stop most foreign objects from entering the eyes

 

 

 

safety goggles

Safety goggles offer much more protection than glasses as they completely cover the eyes, cheaper models do have some drawbacks, mainly that they steam up easily which makes it difficult to see.

             

face visor A safety visor offers not just protection to the eyes but to the whole face as well, which can be useful when grinding metal, however if you are not careful foreign objects can pass underneath the visor, so it is advisable to wear safety spectacles as well as a visor.

Special visors are available that connect to an air supply to enable the user to work in potentially dangerous environments such as when spraying cars.

 

Avoid personal injury
