PSG also manufactures safety eyewear Compliant to the Standard

Compliance means that the product fully adheres to the requirements of the Standard. However, this product range is not tested by a third party. Compliance for PSG means the glasses are still made in the same Certified manufacturing laboratory using the same processes, however the item may simply fall outside of prescription ranges of certification.

PSG highly recommend polarised lenses for workers that are always outdoors as an addition to reducing brightness, polarised also reduces reflective glare.

The best tint colour for construction work is grey. Grey tint provides true colour perception and reduces brightness.

Polarised may not be suitable for all sites as some digital screens and LCD displays can be difficult to read when wearing polarised lenses. If you are unsure whether to choose tinted or polarised for your daily tasks, PSG can help.

PSG offers grey tinted and grey polarised lenses.

Yes, PSG Eyewear prescription safety glasses are designed for tough conditions.

PSG frames that have consumable parts (foam backs, nosepads) are removable and replaceable. We recognise that the Australian work environment can be demanding and these parts can deteriorate at different intervals (some wearers last the lifetime of the glasses, some 6 months, some 12 months, some no replacement required at all) dependent on the environment and factors such as heat, sweat, suncream, etc. So, rather than having to replace entire pairs, these consumable parts can be purchased for replacement.

PSG understands that some work requires frequent movements including bending and climbing.

At PSG Eyewear we recommend looking for features such as:

Detachable head straps: These replace standard temples and wrap securely around the head

Adjustable temples and nosepads: allow for a customised fit

Non slip temples: help minimise movement

Well fitted frames: a properly fitted and adjusted frame is less likely to slip and move while bending down or looking up

Many of PSG's prescription safety frames are available with adjustable straps, nosepads and accessories as well as in many different sizes and are capable of being adjusted to suit the wearer, making them ideal for workers in physically demanding industries.
