From builders to welders to electricians, it’s not uncommon to see labourers protecting their eyes with safety glasses. At Cleanline Tasman, we are proud to sell a wide range of high-quality safety glasses in a wide range of differing styles and ergonomic designs. However, sometimes, you require a bit more eye protection than safety glasses can offer. In such situations, you can shop with us to find equally high-quality safety goggles online.
Safety Glasses vs. Safety Goggles: Which Should You Wear?
There is no battle between safety glasses and safety goggles, and no right or wrong choice between the two of them. Safety glasses offer perfectly sufficient eye protection in some situations and are often more comfortable than safety goggles, which makes them the right choice for many workers. Safety goggles, meanwhile, can provide extra protection when extra protection is necessary or recommended. For most people who work in industries where eye protection is an ongoing concern, the smartest thing is to own a pair or two of both safety glasses and safety goggles.
Essentially, safety glasses provide impact protection and are relatively comfortable and unobtrusive to wear. They don’t get too hot for construction teams who are working outside in the hot sun, but they also don’t fall off in the middle of a task. However, what safety glasses don’t provide is 360-degree protection of the eyes. It’s still possible for a flying object or a piece of debris to get into your eyes from the side.
At Cleanline Tasman, we sell safety goggles in NZ to protect workers in situations where the risk levels are a little bit higher. Safety goggles form a facial seal around the eyes, providing true 360-degree protection and making it much more difficult for foreign objects to get into the eyes. Some of the safety goggles we sell online at Cleanline Tasman even have attached masks or facial seals, to provide extra protection.
When is this kind of extra protection needed? Most experts recommend safety goggles in extremely dusty conditions where particles are everywhere and can easily slip into the gap between your face and your standard safety glasses. For the same reason, you will want to wear safety goggles if you are working in an environment with caustic chemical vapours or airborne liquid droplets. Welding and metal grinding are two other tasks where workers will often opt for safety goggles instead of safety glasses.
