Why Eye Protection Matters in Modern Industries
Eye injuries remain one of the most common workplace hazards worldwide. Every year, thousands of workers suffer preventable injuries due to insufficient or improper eye protection. Whether in construction, manufacturing, healthcare, or laboratories, exposure to debris, chemicals, UV radiation, and sparks can cause irreversible damage within seconds.
Investing in high-quality safety eyewear not only protects workers’ vision but also ensures compliance with occupational safety regulations. For businesses, it reduces downtime, liability, and compensation costs — making protective eyewear an essential part of any modern PPE strategy.
EVERGREAT SAFETY understands this responsibility deeply. With over 30 years of experience in eyewear design and OEM/ODM manufacturing, the company provides certified, customizable, and durable safety glasses tailored to the demands of industrial and professional environments.
Understanding Eye Injury Risks at Work
Workplace environments vary widely, but the risks to the eyes are ever-present. Let’s take a look at the most common hazards across industries:
Industry | Common Eye Hazards | Recommended Protection |
Construction & Welding | Flying debris, dust, UV and IR light | Impact-resistant, UV400 safety glasses |
Manufacturing & Mining | Particles, sparks, heavy machinery | ANSI Z87.1 certified safety glasses |
Oil & Gas | Chemicals, pressure leaks | Splash-resistant goggles |
Medical & Laboratory | Biohazards, liquids | Chemical splash goggles, face shields |

Global Safety Standards for Protective Eyewear
To ensure worker safety and product reliability, all professional safety eyewear must meet international standards. EVERGREAT SAFETY strictly adheres to the most recognized certifications worldwide.
ANSI Z87.1 (USA)
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) defines the Z87.1 standard to ensure resistance against impact, optical clarity, and coverage. Products bearing the Z87+ marking meet high-impact protection standards suitable for heavy industrial use.
