Eye Protection

Learn more about eye protection tools

Eye protection is essential for site compliance and preventing irreversible vision injuries. Modern safety eyewear utilises high-impact polycarbonate lenses that absorb heavy mechanical shocks without shattering. Understanding EN 166 safety markings ensures your team receives the correct protection level—from low-energy impact safety glasses for general bench work to full-seal goggles and face shields rated for high-velocity particle impacts and chemical exposure.

If you are comparing eye protection, start with the product details and the hazard on site. Check lens coverage, fit with other PPE and any suitability notes before you buy.

Typical uses

• Cutting, drilling and grinding, where safety glasses help protect against flying debris and sparks.

• General site and workshop tasks that need reliable impact and particle protection through the day.

• Dusty or particle heavy work, where safety goggles can help keep fine debris out.

• Tasks where fit matters with other PPE, such as helmets, ear defenders and dust masks.

How to choose the right eye protection

• Match the protection to the hazard: safety glasses and specs for impact and debris, goggles for dust, fine particles or splashes.

• Check whether you need side shields for extra side protection.

• Look for impact resistant safety eyewear if flying particles are likely.

• Choose anti-fog safety glasses if you are moving between temperatures or working hard.

• Check product specifications for lens type, coverage and compatibility with other PPE.

• Use EN166 eye protection as a guide when comparing products, and check the individual product details for the exact rating.

Before you order

• Confirm the eyewear fits properly and sits comfortably alongside your other PPE.

• Decide whether the task needs sealed goggles or open sided safety glasses based on dust and splash risk.

• Check whether you need prescription safety glasses or a model that works over your existing glasses.

• Review stock availability, then choose Click & Collect or delivery through your local branch.

• Create an account if you want to manage orders and trade account activity in one place.
