Safety glasses - protection with style
Are your employees covered? Is your business covered? Are you covered?
You can never overestimate the importance of eye safety, with 20-25 percent of all work injuries relating to eyes.
As employers we are responsible for the well-being of our employees (Health and Safety at Work Act 2015), and the need to be proactive in identifying potential hazards and protecting them before they become a statistic. Blunt force trauma from flying debris, heat from a furnace and even dust can all cause serious injury such as punctures, abrasions, contusions, or loss of sight.
Studies show 90% of eye injuries can be prevented* - wearing certified eye protection is a great way to keep your eyes safe.
Eyes on Petone is pleased to offer the premier choice in prescription safety eyewear, from Prescription Safety Glasses Pty Ltd (PSG). PSG was established in 2005 and offers eyewear certified to Australian and New Zealand standard AS/ANZS 1337.6. 1337.6 is one of the strictest standards in the world; it specifies the testing procedures, frame dimensions, impact requirements, frame and lens markings needed to identify manufacturer, and the necessary documentation outlining compliance of the completed safety frame.
PSG is a renowned supplier in this field as a manufacturer with a verifiable impact and Quality Assurance testing program. All PSG safety glasses are custom-made to the wearer’s individual requirements and are accompanied by individual accreditation to the AS/NZ 1337.6 standard.
Safety glasses are vital for employees performing any of the following tasks: sawing, chipping, grinding, drilling, sanding, welding, buffing, handling chemicals, casting, machining, working in dusty conditions or any other similar tasks with a risk of fragments or particles flying and impacting the eye.
The PSG range at Eyes on Petone is not only safe, it looks good. We have PSG safety glasses that have a classic industrial style, a more sporty look, and even corporate styles for those who spend as much time in the office as the shop floor.
Eyes on Petone sells safety glasses all year round, and is featuring some of our range in our window display over June 2023.
