EYE HAZARDS
In Canada, it is crucial to prioritize the safety of your employees' eyes in environments with potential risks of eye or facial injuries. According to Canadian regulations, protective goggles and face shields that comply with the standards set by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) must be worn. Specifically, eye protection equipment should adhere to the CSA Z94.3-20 standard, titled "Eye and Face Protectors."
When selecting appropriate eye protection for specific applications, it is essential to address the following hazards in accordance with the CSA Z94.3-20 standard:
Flying particles (such as dust, splinters, chips, etc.)
Molten metal
Liquids (including acids, alkalis, etc.)
Chemical gases or vapors
Radiation (including UV rays, light, and infrared light)
By following the CSA Z94.3-20 standard, you can ensure that the selected eye protection equipment meets the necessary requirements for safety and compliance with Canadian regulations. Remember to consult the standard and consider the specific hazards present in your workplace to make informed decisions regarding eye protection.
Protect the well-being of your employees by providing them with appropriate eye protection that aligns with the CSA standards and effectively safeguards against potential eye hazards.
Safety Glasses or Goggles?
Safety glasses are a good choice when impact protection is most important. Safety glasses should not be worn if you are trying to protect your eyes from liquids, vapors, or dust. In these cases a goggle is the better option.
Which safety goggles are right?
Before buying, you should make sure that the type of goggles, matches the application. Here are some common types of goggles:
Direct Vent Goggles
These goggles are designed to promote airflow to help reduce fogging. These goggles are good for protection against impacts but do not meet the need for liquid splash protection, vapor, chemical, or dust exposure.
Indirect Vent Goggles
The purpose of these goggles is to protect the wearer from liquid splashes. This type of goggle should not be used where chemical gases or vapors are present. They do allow some airflow, and this helps to reduce fogging, but these types of goggles will fog up more than the direct vent goggles. Select a goggle with an anti-fogging coating for the best reduction of fogging.
Non-vented Goggles
This goggle has no venting and offers protection against vapors, liquid, and dust. They will fog up quickly, and should always have an anti-fog lens.
