Industrial Safety

Being a commercial motor vehicle driver is challenging and demanding. It is a skill requiring drivers to maintain focus in diverse situations while working upwards of 11 hours a day. Remaining alert at all times is an important factor in remaining a safe driver. Being able to see clearly, day or night, can mean the difference between life in death when delivering materials at a jobsite or loading dock.

Cheap sunglasses may look similar to some of the nicer sunglasses but that doesn’t mean they’re made with the same high-quality materials or manufacturing standards. Low-end sunglasses are notorious for being recalled and removed from the market for containing lead paint and other toxic substances. They scratch easily, break and are poorly assembled. Lower price generally means lower quality from fit to finish.   

Buying gifts for your family, friends and as work secret Santa can be challenging. Everyone has different style, which often means seeking out gifts in multiple places. The good news is that’s not always the case. With something for everyone, Wiley X is your one-stop shop for holiday shopping.

Our lives are busy and as a result our eyes can suffer the consequences. Daily, we expose them to numerous endeavors and environments that can cause eye fatigue. This results in headaches, eye discomfort from blurred or double vision, increased sensitivity to light, difficulty with concentration, sore, tired, burning or itching eyes. Being unable to see properly, keep the eyes open or focus is dangerous in any situation. Understanding eye fatigue and taking proactive steps can alleviate these concerns. 

Oil workers are surrounded by constant danger. Work-related injuries are 49% higher in oil and gas than all other US industries combined. Every task requires protective eyewear. Regular eyeglasses don’t cut it and a face shield is not enough. Your crew deserves high-quality eyewear with a multitude of protective aspects. Selecting glasses that fit the workers’ face properly and comfortably encourages the use of protective eyewear.

Yearly, thousands of people are blinded from work-related eye injuries. Selecting the proper PPE could have prevented these debilitating damages. The decision to purchase lower quality workplace safety eyewear for workers has cost employers more than $300 million per year in worker’s compensation, medical expenses and the loss of production. Identifying the dangers, costs and solutions to on-the-job eye-related accidents is the best method for selecting safety glasses for manufacturing employees.

Construction is a massive and dangerous industry. Injuries are prominent on the construction site. It is estimated by OSHA that only 34% of building construction workers wear safety glasses, consequently 1,000 eye injuries occur daily. Not wearing the proper protective eyewear or wearing PPE incorrectly are the main reasons for these injuries. Safety eyewear for construction workers must fit securely, be multi-functional and ready for sudden changes in weather and worksite conditions.

Negligence and misuse of PPE can have dangerous consequences. Construction workers face flying debris, wood, dirt, metal, nails, sparks, varying weather patterns and exposure to UV rays. ANSI-rated glasses, protect workers from high-mass and high-velocity impacts and offer direct protection from any number of elements being thrown at construction workers daily. The potential for an accident or injury is enormous.

The selection of PPE for construction workers should be a vigorous one. Frames

The number one priority and concern within the labor force is the ongoing safety of the crew. No matter the industry you’re working in, danger is lurking around every corner. When it comes to eyesight, protection is of the upmost importance. How do you know when it’s time to level up the industrial protective eyewear of your team? If you answer yes to any of the following questions, it is time to upgrade your gear.

The manufacturing of industrial safety eyewear has evolved immensely over the last decade, many safety glasses have been designed to appear as normal sunglasses, making them easier to wear and more attractive, yet they are designed to provide more eye protection then their previous counterpart. You remember those massive safety googles that constantly fogged up causing obstruction, those are thing of the past.  

Preventing eye injuries on the worksite becomes an easier task when protocol and guidelines are put in place to help avoid incidences. Foresight is everything when it comes to protecting your team. Being aware of the dangers to eye safety, using the proper eye protection, replacing industrial protective eyewear when it gets damaged and minimizing hazards by using work screens and machine guards should
