USE OF SAFETY GOGGLES IN PRACTICE

Protecting one's health, as well as the health of others, should be one of the priorities of everyday life, whether in the work sphere, ie in the workplace, but also in private during various leisure activities, such as sport. Certainly most of you have already met at the workplace with various trainings on compliance with health and safety (occupational health and safety) regulations and in some job positions, such as welders or workers in chemical laboratories, as well as on the importance of wearing various protective equipment for protection, sight, hearing, face or head, e.g. goggles, helmets, hoods, masks, earphones, earplugs and the like. However, many of these protective elements are used not only at work, but also in various other activities that definitely require health protection, such as sport shooting, airsoft, skiing or even garden work.

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR VISION WITH SAFETY GOGGLES?

Sight is one of the basic and much-needed senses of a person and it is very important to protect him as much as possible, because the eyes that are the seat of visual perception are extremely prone to various injuries and permanent damage, which can lead to complete loss of vision.  From an early age, we teach children at home "don't ruin your eyes" ... at the computer, in low light or sitting close to the TV screen. There is also a lot of talk about the need for regular preventive check-ups by an ophthalmologist or about thorough eye protection from sunlight, for which it is also essential to use really high-quality sunglasses. Therefore, be sure not to neglect eye care and eye protection, and wear safety goggles wherever necessary.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFETY GOGGLES

The purpose of safety goggles is to prevent damage to the eyes and parts of the face which may be caused by various factors, e.g. goggles protecting the eyes from mechanical damage by various bodies that can penetrate the eye during work or sports. . However, in addition to mechanical damage, there are various chemical and biological agents of eye damage (eg chemical spraying of trees during garden work) and protection against harmful radiation and thermal agents is also important, e.g. also in laser treatments in cosmetics. Protective goggles can thus be manufactured in different designs according to the type of protection for which they are intended.

WHAT SAFETY GOGGLES TO CHOOSE?

Safety goggles are made of unbreakable glass or plastic, they can be clear, transparent without any protective filters, but also with special colored safety filters. A distinction must also be made between safety goggles which fit snugly to the face or which are also manufactured, including side-shields or anti-fog lenses. An important criterion in the selection of goggles is also their optical class, e.g. class 3 includes safety goggles suitable only for short-term use, while Class 1 lenses are also intended for long-term use for several hours.
