Face Protection

Face protection equipment is designed to protect the face from a variety of hazards, including flying debris, chemical splashes, and arc flashes. There are many different types of face protection equipment available, each designed for a specific purpose.

They include safety glasses, Safety goggles, face masks, face shields, etc.

Safety glasses

Safety glasses are the most common type of face protection. They provide protection from impact, dust, and flying debris. Safety glasses should have side shields to protect the eyes from objects that come from the side.

Safety Goggles

Safety Goggles provide more coverage than safety glasses and offer better protection from chemical splashes and arc flashes. Goggles should have a tight seal around the eyes to prevent liquids from getting in.

Face shields

Face shields provide the most coverage of all face protection equipment. They protect the entire face from flying debris, chemical splashes, and arc flashes. Face shields should be worn over safety glasses or goggles to provide maximum protection.
