Safety Goggles

Clear & Tinted Safety Goggles

	Clear Lenses: Provide maximum light transmission and can be used indoors, outdoors and in low light conditions.
	Tinted Lenses: Tinted Safety Goggles with tinted lenses provide a great option for outdoor use. Tinted Safety Goggles are available with either a fully tinted lens (similar to a sunglass lens) for use in bright sunny conditions, or a lightly tinted lens for use in all lighting conditions both indoors and outdoors. Tinted Safety Goggles usually come with grey tinted lenses. For workers requiring an additional level of protection that need to manage the effects of bright sunlight outdoors, Tinted Safety Goggles are the perfect choice.
	Indoor / Outdoor Lenses: Tinted Safety Goggles with indoor/outdoor lenses are just as versatile as clear Safety Goggles. These Tinted Safety Goggles can be used indoors, as well as outdoors where they provide an additional level of comfort by dimming the effects of bright sunlight.

Types of Safety Goggles

Safety Goggles come in a variety of different designs to cater for personal preferences and increased wearer comfort.

	Full Size Safety Goggles: The largest of the designs and provide complete protection around the eye and associated ocular area.
	Low Profile Safety Goggles: Designed to be slightly smaller and lighter so they are more comfortable when worn for extended periods of time. Low Profile Safety Goggles also provide complete protection around the eye and associated ocular area.
	Hybrid Safety Goggles: Are uniquely designed to fit more like safety glasses, however have a better seal around the eyes when compared to Positive Seal Foam Insert Safety Glasses. Great examples of hybrid Safety Goggles include the Bolle Baxter and Bolle Ultim8 Goggles. Hybrid Safety Goggles usually utilise a combination of temples and Safety Goggles straps.

Lens Technologies for Safety Goggles

Due to the tough environments and tasks Safety Goggles are exposed to, Safety Goggles are regularly supplied with anti-scratch coatings, anti-fog coatings or both. The inclusion of these coating depends on the model selected and targeted application.

Anti-scratch Lenses for Safety Goggles

Anti-scratch coatings are applied to one or both sides of the Safety Goggles lenses to improve the scratch resistancy of the lens material. Key benefits include:

• Increased resistance to lens scratching
• Longer useful life of lenses and safety goggles
• Lenses in safety goggles are easier to clean and less susceptible to dirt
• Ideal in all environments, particularly where there is a high exposure to dirt

Anti-fog Lenses for Safety Goggles

Anti-fog coatings are designed to assist Safety Goggles not fogging up particularly in hot, humid conditions or where other PPE is being worn. Anti-fog coatings can be applied to one or both sides of the lenses. Key benefits include:

• Reduced fogging of safety goggles lenses
• Decreases the need for workers to remove safety goggles to wipe off fog
• Permanent anti-fog properties remain even after repeated cleaning

Final Tip to Ensure Eye Protection from Safety Goggles

Did you know, the better the sealing of your Safety Goggles around your eyes, the higher the level of protection against dust, airborne particles, liquids, chemicals and vapours! Always examine the condition of your Safety Goggles carefully. If the frame, rubber seal or lens is distorted, damaged or has a hole, your Safety Goggles can no longer protect you effectively and should be thrown out and replaced.
