Does My Employer Have To Provide Safety Glasses?

If your work presents any reasonably predictable eye hazards (dust, fumes, splashes etc.), OSHA requires that your employer provide eye protection. However, this does not have to be your preferred safety glasses. Some workers prefer to buy their own to ensure comfort for all-day wear.

How Do I Find the Right Work Glasses?

First and foremost, it is important to know what protection ratings you need. For example, the ANSI Z87 rating used by OSHA has optional additional ratings for impact, dust and chemicals. Find a pair of safety glasses that is sufficiently rated and that will fit your head correctly.

What Does Z87 Mean?

Z87 is an eyewear safety rating maintained by the American National Standards Institute. This rating is used by OSHA to ensure sufficient protection for the worksite. Most safety glasses have additional marking such as Z87.1+ D3 D4 U. This indicates that the glasses meet optional specifications for the rating.
