safety eyewear regulations

Safety eyewear regulations require protective glasses to meet established standards, like those from the ANSI Z87.1 or OSHA, ensuring they provide adequate impact resistance and coverage. Employers must select appropriate eyewear for specific hazards, ensuring proper fit and comfort. Certified glasses are tested to withstand impacts, UV exposure, and other risks. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential. The goal is to prevent eye injuries by ensuring workers wear reliable, properly rated protective eyewear in environments with potential eye hazards, creating a safer workplace for everyone.
