Eye Protection

Safety glasses protect your eyes from hazards such as dust, flying objects or particles that may strike you from in front. Today's safety glasses are made for style as well as protection.

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sets standards for safety glasses. Safety glasses must withstand the impact of a quarter inch steel ball traveling 150 feet per second. Standard prescription glasses cannot provide this kind of protection. Frames stamped with the imprint "Z87" meet stringent standards for strength and heat resistance.

It is important to remember that standard safety glasses protect against impact from the front only. For this reason, UR Safety Products Group offers glasses with side shields to provide protection for tasks such as sanding, buffing, and drill press work. We also carry goggles and face shields for protection from above and below as well as the side for lathe work or other high speed cutting and shaping operations. We also carry eye wash that is a must have supply in case of an emergency eye injury due to chemicals.
