If your safety glasses are damaged at work such as receiving a significant impact, being crushed, presenting with any cracks, deep scratches or structural damage, they have done their job and must be replaced as we can no longer be confident that the structural integrity of the product is still fit for the purpose it was designed and will still protect in the manner they were intended
Any alteration, including the removal of fixed side shields or modification outside normal facial fitting adjustments, will change the level of protection intended by PSG Eyewear and void any warranty or product guarantee.
If you are unsure whether your glasses need to be replaced, PSG and our support optometrists can help.
Yes, PSG's prescription safety glasses can help protect your eyes from dust and airborne particles when the correct frame is selected for your work environment.
For the best protection, we recommend choosing close fitting frames that provide coverage all the way around the eye (top, side and front coverage). For dusty environments, foam backed safety frames are often the preferred option as the foam gasket helps significantly reduce the amount of dust and debris that can enter around the edges of the frame.
Because everyone's face shape is different, we also recommend trying on the frame to ensure it provides a secure, comfortable fit and appropriate coverage for your individual needs.
If you are unsure which frames are most appropriate for your workplace, our team can help you select the best options based on your work environment and other PPE requirements.
