90% of eye injuries can be avoided with proper eyewear

Simply wearing any old pair of safety eyewear isn’t enough to protect your eyes. Undoubtedly it decreases the possibility of an injury, but if you have poorly fitted eyewear you are putting yourself at a higher risk. Did you know 2,500 people injure their eyes at work each year in the UK? Don't become a statistic - it’s all about proper WEARABILITY.

Fit

Proper fit
One size does not fit all. It may seem obvious, but properly-fitting eyewear that has been selected for the individual, their workplace and takes into account compatibility with other PPE can help avoid accidents, reduce discomfort, increase productivity and give wearers confidence.

Comfort

All day comfort
With proper fit comes comfort. Safety eyewear not only protects against mechanical hazards (workplace debris and contaminants), it should be free of pressure points, lightweight, breathable and not slip. It’s only when PPE fits well and is comfortable that it remains worn all day.

Performance

Product performance
We understand that the design, quality of materials, lens tints and coating technology all have a bearing on the wearer experience. Our in-house expertise ensures we have complete ownership of the entire value-chain from raw material to finished product ensuring the highest-quality eyewear.

Style

Modern style
We all want to look and feel good. Eyewear that is high performing, comfortable and stylish makes wearing PPE effortless. As a result, safety eyewear is more likely to remain where it should throughout the day and employees will remain compliant.

Over 90 years of experience

Because of uvex’s German-engineered dual-injection mould technology, we’re able to combine soft and hard components into frames that flex; making them comfortable and durable, yet highly adaptive so that they fit to any face width or shape – making wearability, protection and compliance easy.

Trelleborg made safety eyewear mandatory after recognising the potential risk to staff and wanted eye protection that was comfortable, durable, looked good and offered value for money. After trialling a number of brands, uvex eyewear fitted the bill on all counts.

Lanes had been experiencing a high level of PPE wastage because the spectacles continually misted up and easily became scratched, as they did not have anti-mist or anti-scratch coatings. Now, uvex safety spectacles last 16x longer than the safety specs previously used.

The Wates Group hoped that eye injuries would be a thing of the past after introducing a mandatory eye protection policy. In the five years that followed, 73 workers suffered eye injuries despite the policy, making it clear that just supplying the equipment was not enough.
