Prescription orders generally take 7-12 business days to be completed and shipped. Non-Prescription orders generally take 3-5 business days to be shipped. Attention: Due to COVID-19, production and shipping times could experience slight delays.

To do so, you simply need to take a look at the glasses themselves. If the glasses are safety-approved according to ANSI or other standards, they will be stamped. By stamped, we mean that you will see on the frame or lens whether it meets certain safety standards.

Prescription frames require size markings on the frames and temples per ANSI Z80. 5-2010. All safety markings for ANSI Z87. 1 must be clearly and permanently marked on the frame or lens.

When it comes to safety glasses and goggles, impact protection tests measure whether or not the lenses protect against hazards like flying debris. If the glasses provide adequate protection during these tests, they earn a standard rating: ANSI Z87. 1 and above, CSA Z94.

OSHA Safety Glasses Fines: If an employer does not comply with OSHA safety glasses and PPE standards, then their company can come up against some serious fines. Be diligent about eye protection for your employees.

Polycarbonate safety glasses are the most impact resistant, offering higher levels of protection against metal, wood splinters and other flying debris. Polycarbonate is lightweight and fog resistant, but is softer than glass and more prone to scratching.

There are many reasons why workers don't want to wear their safety glasses. Some common complaints include: they're uncomfortable, they fog up, they're too hot, I can't see properly and they give me headaches.

If you're looking for OSHA approved prescription safety glasses, what you actually need are ANSI Z87 rated safety glasses. Safety eyewear that is ANSI Z87 rated is generally compliant with OSHA regulations.

The first and probably most common tint is Clear. Clear lenses are ideal for most applications and are typically the standard lens tint for most safety glasses. Primarily used indoors, safety glasses with a clear lens are often worn to protect workers from impacts on the job.

Yes, all safety glasses have to have the mark of Z87. let's see what does it mean. The marking you see on your safety glasses indicates specific safety rating of the eyewear, part of American National Standards Institute – ANSI Z87.

The key differences between goggles and glasses: Safety goggles offer complete protection around your eye. Safety glasses may only offer protection around the front and sides (not to the top).

All OSHA-approved safety glasses must have markings specified by the American National Standards Institute's ANSI Z87. 1-2010 standard on both the lenses and the frame of the eyewear piece. If the lenses are Impact Rated, they also should have the manufacturer's mark, followed by a "+" sign.

Yellow or amber is the preferred, proven tint to block UV rays from blue light. With yellow lenses, visual acuity and contrast will be sharpened as the blue light is filtered from your field of vision.

Safety glasses are designed to provide optimal protection to your eyes on the job or at home. Unlike prescription glasses, safety glasses are generally made out of different material or have a different thickness in order to withstand impact from flying objects or hazardous materials.

Fortunately, fog-free vision can be a reality. Our anti-fog prescription eyeglasses have a permanent coating that ensures clear lenses in situations when fogging is an issue.

ANSI is short for the America National Standards Institute. This body sets standards for various products to help ensure they meet a minimum level of effectiveness. When a pair of safety glasses are ANSI-rated, that means they have been shown to meet the standards set by ANSI for a specific rating.
For safety glasses, the ANSI ratings are typically related to protection from impacts and other eye hazards. If you are using your glasses for eye safety, you likely want to find a pair that are rated by ANSI or a similar body. These typically offer the best protection for your eyes.
