When it comes to PPE, proper fit ensures proper functionality and protection. Eyewear is no different.
Here’s what to look for when properly fitting your safety eyewear:
No Pressure Points: Make sure there are no uncomfortable pressure points on the side of your head or behind your ears.
Pinch-Free Comfort: The temple tips should not pinch your ears.
Nose Perfection: The nose piece should be comfortable and not pinch your nose.
Clear Vision: You should be able to see in all directions without any major obstructions.
Weight Distribution: The overall weight of your eyewear should be evenly distributed between your ears and nose.
Perfect Fit: Frames should sit close to your face without hitting your eyelashes. The space around the frames and your face should be less than a pencil width, ideally 6-8mm.
Eyebrow Coverage: Lenses should cover your eyebrows and any soft tissue around them.
Stay Put: Your eyewear should stay in place when you move your head front to back and side to side.
