How to Choose the Right Safety Lenses for Every Job

Safety lenses are an extremely critical part of workplace safety and should not be overlooked. In fact, the CDC reports that about 2,000 workers in the U.S. sustain eye-related job injuries (many of which require medical treatment) every day. Importantly, a great number of these injuries can be prevented with appropriate eye protection. OSHA requires employers to ensure their employees' safety, and that includes providing adequate eye and face protection from a wide range of hazards.

Selecting the right lens for a particular job can make a big difference in how protected a worker will be. Here, we'll take a close look at the ways in which both lens color and lens coatings can impact worker safety and keep your employees safe on the job.
