8 Pairs of Safety Glasses for Workers on Jobsites: A Review

Safety glasses are essential for workers on jobsites to protect their eyes from hazards. However, not all safety glasses are created equal and are designed for different purposes.

When choosing a new pair of safety glasses, contractors should consider the safety rating, lens protection, frame construction, comfort features, and style. Some important factors include ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 standards for impact testing, anti-fog coatings for humid environments, and scratch-resistant lenses.

Eight pairs of safety glasses are showcased in this report from Total Landscape Care. The Klein Standard Safety Glasses offer an anti-fog coating on clear lenses with 99.9% UV protection, while the Milwaukee Wrap Around Safety Glasses feature a wide field of view and ANSI Z87+ protection.

The Caterpillar Photoplan Safety Glasses adjust their tint based on UV light exposure and temperature, making them suitable for various environments. The Wiley X WX Gravity safety glasses offer shatterproof lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection and meet ANSI Z87.1+ standards.
