Workplace eye injuries from mechanical or chemical means have increased due to the rise of industrialization globally. The two most common reasons behind such injuries are either the workers were not wearing eye protection or they had worn wrong eye protection at the time of the accident.
It’s vital to provide individuals with the anti-fog (AF) lens coating that meets the rigors of the job. But an effective AF coating is only as good as they eyewear it’s on. If workers are uncomfortable in their fog-free eyewear, they’re likely to remove it.
For those working in dusty environments, foam-lined safety eyewear is a must. Gateway Safety expands the popular StarLite family and now offers a new foam-lined, anti-fog eyewear solution: StarLite FOAMPRO. These safety glasses are lined with a soft, closed-cell foam to prevent dust and debris from getting into the eyes.
Top complaints from workers wearing safety eyewear frequently center around fogging. Wheelz® goggles by Gateway Safety were designed specifically to fight fogging with a unique Whirlwind™ ventilation system
In most work environments, safety glasses have a way of getting dusty, dirty, and smudged. Frequently, employees just use a t-shirt or face tissue to clean their protective eyewear. There’s a problem with that method of cleaning. The worker is actually wiping off the anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings that were originally applied to the surface of the lens during the manufacturing process.
Honeywell (NYSE: HON) unveiled today Uvex Hypershock™ safety eyewear, which combines premium sport-inspired style and best-in-class lens performance for maximum appeal and protection.
