What you'd wear:

Safety eyewear carries its standard on the frame: Z87 (Z87+ for high impact) under ANSI Z87.1 in the US, EN 166 in Europe. Prescription glasses aren't safety glasses unless they're marked; wear safety glasses that fit over them, or get prescription safety glasses.

Safety

  • Look for the Z87+ mark (ANSI Z87.1), or EN 166 in Europe, on the frame.
  • Replace eyewear that is scratched, cracked or has taken a hit.
  • If a chemical gets in your eye, rinse it with running water for 15 minutes and get medical help. Don't rub an eye with something in it.
