PROTECTION
Designed to protect against mechanical, chemical, thermal, electric and/or
radiation (e.g. welding) risks. Eye protection has to meet EN166, plus additional
standards depending on application. Solutions include spectacles, goggles,
visors and often incorporate measures to limit the impact on productivity of
wearing them, e.g. anti-fogging lenses.
