Protective goggles & visors
Safety goggles and safety visors prevent injuries in the eye area and are part of personal protective equipment (PPE). They protect against UV rays, dust, chemicals, germs and flying objects. At Franz Mensch, you will find both general-purpose safety spectacles and full-vision safety spectacles in accordance with EN 166 as well as protective visors.
Protective goggles and visors
Protect your eyes effectively with our safety spectacles and safety visors. These essential components of personal protective equipment (PPE) are indispensable in areas such as medicine, the food industry and various industrial environments. Safety spectacles offer reliable protection against UV rays, dust, chemicals, germs and flying particles.
The all-purpose safety spectacles and full-vision safety spectacles fulfil the strict requirements of the EN 166 standard and therefore guarantee the highest safety standards. Regardless of whether you work in a laboratory, in food processing or in an industrial operation - safety spectacles offer optimum protection and comfort.
High-quality protective visors are also available here in the shop. They offer additional protection for the entire face and are particularly indispensable in areas where splashes or particles pose a risk. Their lightweight design and easy handling make them ideal for long-term use. Thanks to the soft forehead padding, they are particularly comfortable to wear and can be combined very well with marine goggles or face masks.
Ventilated or non-ventilated: safety spectacles with air valves
Ventilated safety spectacles offer several advantages that are particularly important in working environments with high demands on protection and comfort:
- Less fogging: The ventilation valves allow air to flow, which helps to reduce the formation of condensation on the lenses. This is particularly important in environments with changing temperatures or when the glasses are worn for long periods.
- more comfortable: ventilated safety spectacles are often more comfortable to wear, as the air circulation prevents heat from building up under the spectacles. This makes them cooler and more comfortable to wear, especially during long work shifts.
- Less moisture: The ventilation also helps to reduce moisture under the glasses. This is particularly beneficial in humid working environments or during physically strenuous activities that lead to sweating.
- Protection against particles and dust: Despite the ventilation, these goggles still offer reliable protection against dust, particles and other harmful influences. The ventilation slits are designed like a valve to prevent particles from entering and at the same time allow air to circulate.
To summarise, ventilated safety spectacles offer an optimal combination of protection, comfort and functionality, making them a preferred choice in many industrial and commercial working environments.
Frequently asked questions about safety eyewear and eye protection
When should you wear eye protection?
Safety goggles should always be worn when there is a risk to the eyes. This includes situations where particles, dust, chemical splashes, vapours or hazardous radiation (such as UV or laser radiation) are present. In many professions, such as in the construction industry, in laboratories, in medicine and in manufacturing, the wearing of eye protection is mandatory.
Which safety goggles for the lab?
Full-vision safety goggles or tight-fitting safety goggles with side protection are ideal for laboratory environments. They should protect against chemical splashes and be made of a material that is resistant to a wide range of chemicals. It is also important that they fit well and do not fog up to allow clear vision.
What eye protection is available?
There are different types of eye protection, including
- Safety goggles: Standard goggles with side protection.
- Full-vision spectacles: Offer more comprehensive protection around the entire eye.
- Protective visors: Protect large parts of the face, including the eyes, but are not close-fitting.
- Special goggles: For specific requirements, such as laser safety goggles or welding goggles.
Why are safety goggles important?
Safety eyewear is important to protect the eyes from injuries that can be caused by physical, chemical or radiation exposure. Eyes are particularly sensitive and injuries can be serious and permanent. The right eye protection can protect against permanent damage and blindness.
How long do safety spectacles last?
The durability of safety spectacles depends on various factors, such as the material, the type of use and care. There is no set lifespan, but it is important to check the goggles regularly for scratches, cracks or other damage. Damaged safety spectacles should be replaced immediately to ensure optimum protection. As a rule, it is advisable to replace safety spectacles if there are visible defects.
