Eye protection for food and beverage industry

uvex safety eyewear is designed to deliver reliable protection and clear vision across a wide range of tasks. The range includes lightweight safety spectacles, fully sealed goggles and specialist options for hygiene-critical and contamination-controlled environments.

Advanced anti-fog and scratch-resistant coatings help maintain clear vision in demanding conditions, including humid processing areas, temperature changes and fast-paced production settings. With options that work comfortably alongside other PPE, uvex eyewear helps support safety, visibility and wearer comfort throughout the working day.

Protecting vision starts with the right fit

Wearing any safety eyewear is not enough to ensure protection. Poor fit can cause discomfort and distraction, increasing the risk of injury.

Head and facial shapes vary, so one size does not fit all. Offering a range of eyewear options and involving wearers in the selection process helps achieve a secure, comfortable fit, encouraging consistent wear throughout the day.

Lens shades for food production environments

Choosing the right lens tint is essential for maintaining safety, comfort, and visual clarity in food and beverage environments.

From brightly lit processing lines and reflective stainless-steel surfaces to cold storage areas and variable natural light in outdoor operations, workers face a range of visual challenges throughout the day.

The correct lens tint can help reduce glare, enhance contrast, and minimise eye strain - supporting accuracy, productivity, and compliance in hygiene-critical settings where clear vision is key.

Clear

Suitable for most indoor food production areas and general working conditions. Offers full signal colour recognition, making it a practical choice for production lines, packing areas and sites where workers need to identify indicators, warning lights and moving vehicles such as forklift trucks.

Amber

Helps filter blue light and enhance contrast in low light. Supports clear visibility of products, surfaces and signals.

Grey 23%

Suitable for areas with higher brightness and glare, helping reduce discomfort from strong sunlight or intense reflected light while maintaining full signal colour recognition. Can be useful for goods-in, dispatch, loading bays, forklift truck routes where workers are in outdoor environments.

CBR65

Designed to enhance contrast, reduce eye fatigue and cut blue light by 50%, making it well-suited to indoor food production environments with bright artificial lighting. Particularly helpful where LED lighting, glossy surfaces, stainless steel equipment, or shrink-wrap reflections can create visual strain. Also a good option for workers moving between indoor and outdoor areas, such as warehouse staff, dispatch teams and forklift truck drivers.

CBR23

Suitable for very bright working environments where strong natural light and glare can affect comfort and visibility. Reduces blue light by 95%, helps reduce eye fatigue and enhances contrast, while still allowing full signal colour recognition. Best suited to outdoor food-picking or delivery drivers, yard workers, loading zones, and other sun-exposed areas.


Choose the right lens coating

Not all anti-fog coatings are created equal

Lens coatings play a critical role in ensuring safety eyewear performs reliably in the demanding conditions of the food and beverage industry. Fast-paced production lines, temperature fluctuations between chilled and ambient areas, and frequent cleaning or washdown processes can all impact visibility and eyewear durability. High-performance coatings - such as anti-fog and scratch-resistant finishes - help maintain clear vision in humid or rapidly changing environments, reducing the need for workers to adjust or remove their eyewear.

Choose the right lens coating

Unrivalled Protection

Chemically engineered not to wash off, uvex’s anti-fog coatings are fundamentally different from others. All uvex anti-fog coatings are hydrophilic and draw moisture into the coating, absorbing it - eliminating fog quickly and efficiently.

uvex’s exclusive flow-coating application technology also provides an anti-fog coating that is consistent, clear and permanently bonded to the lens.

In addition, coatings designed to withstand frequent cleaning and exposure to food-safe chemicals help extend the lifespan of the lenses while supporting hygiene compliance. By enhancing durability, clarity, and resistance to common workplace challenges, the right lens coatings ensure consistent eye protection and help minimise downtime, errors, and risk in environments where precision and cleanliness are essential.
