EYE SAFETY IN OIL & GAS

Yes, all PSG Eyewear prescription safety glasses are Certified to current Australian Standard, AS/NZS 1337.6

Independent product certification ensures that a product meets all the requirements of the standard through a process of product testing, ongoing batch testing and biannual audits.

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.

Yes, PSG prescription safety glasses are specifically designed and manufactured to provide excellent eye protection. PSG offers a wide range of models including those with integrated side shields all the way to the bottom of the frame front, wrap around designs and foam backed designs that help shield from particles, dust, debris and other workplace hazards from multiple angles; front, top and sides.

Not only do PSG frames look good, but they are also, most importantly, fit for purpose.

If you are unsure which PSG frame provides the level of protection required for your workplace, our team is happy to assist you in choosing the most suitable option.

Over glasses are a great short term solution for visitors to site or occasional use, but they are no substitute for properly fitted, customised prescription safety glasses. Prescription safety glasses are designed to provide a secure comfortable fit, while also delivering clear vision and Certified eye protection.

In comparison, over glasses can be bulkier and uncomfortable for extended wear. Wearing over glasses can also increase the risk of scratching and damaging everyday glasses and may reduce visual clarity or peripheral vision for some wearers. For workers who require eye protection on a regular basis and require vision correction, PSG recommends investing in a pair of properly fitted, prescription safety glasses.

It is also important to note that some high risk tasks require additional eye and face protection. Activities such as chemical handling and management, or tasks with a risk of splashes may require a full face shield or face mask to be worn over/in addition to certified prescription safety glasses, in accordance with your workplace risk assessments and safety requirements.

Yes, PSG Eyewear prescription safety glasses are designed to meet the requirements of Australian Standards and are suitable across industries including oil and gas, mining, construction and manufacturing where compliant eye protection is required.

All PSG prescription safety glasses are provided with a certificate of compliance. In addition, our lenses are permanently etched with the applicable Australian Standard and the frame is marked with the relevant standard allowing compliance to be easily verified during site inspections and audits.

As site specific PPE requirements can be quite varied, we also recommend confirming any additional requirements to ensure fit for purpose for the work environment with your employer or safety team before ordering. If you are unsure which frame is best suited to your site requirements, PSG can help you choose the best option.

For workers who frequently move between offices, control rooms, and field operations there are several recommendations, though the main thing is looking for a pair that are well fitting and comfortable for all day wear, so you do not need to take them off when moving between environments.

Depending on your work, we recommend:

Transitions® lenses: If you frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments. Transitions® lenses automatically adapt to changing light conditions and are clear indoors and dark outdoors.

Clear lenses: If you spend the majority of your time indoors.

Polarised lenses: If you spend extended periods of your day outdoors where sun protection and glare reduction are essential.

Yes, PSG Eyewear collaborates with site safety teams to ensure only the most fit for purpose products are available to workers. We innovate to ensure many options are available so that workers can choose the best fit and comfort for their prescription safety glasses.

We know when safety eyewear is comfortable, looks good and fits well, worker compliance increases.

PSG are available for expert consultation in conjunction with site teams and workers to assist with workplace eye safety.

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 frame is less likely to slip and move while bending down or looking up.

Many of our prescription frames are available with adjustable straps or accessories, making them ideal for workers in physically demanding industries.
