Protective eyewear standards

Protective eyewear standards refer to guidelines that ensure safety glasses, goggles, and face shields effectively protect your eyes from hazards like chemicals, flying debris, or excessive light. These standards are developed by organizations like the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The aim is to ensure that protective eyewear is tested for durability, fit, and clarity and provides proper coverage. By following these standards, both manufacturers and users can be confident that the eyewear will safeguard against potential injuries in workplaces or during specific activities.
