to mitigate any risk of personal injury.

Head to Toe Protection – UV Safety Eyewear for Summer

According to RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind people) 4.1 million people will be affected by sight loss in the UK by 2050, so implementing preventative measures and using suitable safety eyewear where people are exposed, is essential.  

 A combination of increased UV rays and varied light conditions in summer months can have a detrimental effect, both in the short-term and long-term, and cause lasting damage if the proper protection isn’t worn when needed.

It’s essential that all eyewear in the PPE industry has the correct UV certification to mitigate any risk of personal injury, and the product should also be best suited to the needs of the wearer for ultimate efficiency and comfort.
