Safety goggles

Goggles seal all around the eyes and protect against splashes, dust and vapour. Safety glasses with side shields protect against flying particles but not against splashes coming from the side. For splash work with chemicals, wear goggles. For general lab work with low splash risk, spectacles are usually comfortable enough. Check that the frame fits your face well.

Goggles carry codes on frame and lens under the applicable EN standard. They indicate, for example, protection against liquid droplets and splashes, coarse dust, or gas and fine dust, plus lens properties such as scratch resistance, anti-fog and mechanical strength. Check the markings on the frame and the lens itself, and compare them with your PPE requirements. For the meaning of each code, check the product page or the marking; see safety goggles. Unsure which one fits? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

Yes, provided you choose an over-spectacle model or goggles that are roomy enough for that purpose. Check the product page or the marking to see whether a model is suitable for wearing over glasses. Otherwise, consider prescription safety glasses. Either way, check that the edge seals well against your face and that your own glasses do not press on the lens. Options are in safety goggles.

Indirect venting limits fogging while still keeping splashes out, which suits most liquid work. Non-vented goggles also protect against gases and fine vapours, but they fog up faster, so choose an anti-fog lens in that case. Base the choice on your risk assessment. An anti-fog coating wears off over time, so replace goggles once they fog persistently. If your face needs protection too, combine goggles with a shield from face shields and visors.

Safety goggles seal to the face with a vented or an unvented frame. They are the eye protection for a liquid splash. Indirect ventilation reduces fogging without a straight path for a splash. They are worn over prescription glasses only when the model says so.

Safety glasses are the ordinary impact protection, with side coverage. Goggles seal to the face and are for splashes. A face shield covers the face and is worn with eye protection, not instead of a seal, when the liquid is the hazard. Laser and ultraviolet glasses are optical filters for a stated wavelength. A clear lens does not stop a laser. The standards are under ISO head and eye protection. The legal text is the PPE Regulation.
