Introduction and selection of safety goggles

Wednesday 14th September 2022 Back to list

Safety goggles refer to the products that protect the occupational factors that may cause harm to the eyes. Glasses are the most sensitive organ of the human body and are closely related to our daily work and life. However, the working environment is full of various potential safety hazards that endanger our glasses, which may be an instant or a long-term occupational disease, thus affecting the whole life.

Changzhou Sunnergy Technology Co., Ltd. learned that protective glasses, as glasses with special functions, need to be selected according to the specific use occasions. For example, welding goggles used in ship welding, anti impact goggles used in mining areas, surgical goggles used in hospitals, chemical goggles used in chemical plants, laser engraved laser goggles, etc.

The causes of eye injuries are mainly divided into the following categories:

1. Foreign body injury: including the injury to eyes caused by solid or liquid insects. More common working environments include metal processing, cutting, metal casting, equipment grinding and maintenance, wood processing, etc.

2. Chemical eye injury: during the production process, acid and alkali liquid or corrosive smoke enter the eyes, causing eye membrane damage. General working places include petroleum smelting, chemical industry, laboratory, hospital, etc.

3. Ultraviolet radiation, also known as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, can cause acute keratitis, conjunctivitis and other diseases. Generally, ultraviolet ray is generated in the chemical industry (coating curing, pigment curing, photolithography), instrument analysis (ore, drug, food analysis), electrical welding, oxygen cutting, etc.

4. Infrared radiation, also known as infrared (IR) radiation, mainly causes eye crystal damage.

5. Others include ionization injury (α particle,β particle,γ ray, X-ray), laser injury, microwave injury, cataract caused by electric shock, or retinal injury. Widely existing environments include radar, communication, detection, logistics, industrial food processing and other departments.

Key points for selecting safety glasses:

When selecting safety glasses, we must also consider the following factors on the basis of complying with relevant standards and operating procedures,

1. Hazard sources in operation environment

2. Frequency of using protective glasses during operation

3. Whether there are other hazards

4. Whether there are special work requirements such as color and optics for safety glasses

5. Whether protective glasses need to be used in combination with other safety protection articles, such as safety helmet, protective face screen, gas mask, etc

Changzhou Sunnergy Technology Co., Ltd. reminds you that only when you wear a pair of safety goggles that are suitable for you, can you really protect your eyes and be responsible for your own safety. Our company produces all kinds of protective glasses and goggles, and we can also customize protective glasses according to needs.
