As Tough as the People Who Wear Them

The latest prescription glasses are tough, practical and economical, ideal to wear in the work place.

Safety glassesThe presence of the new Australian Safety Standards (AS/NZS 1337.6), which came into force in April 2007, for the manufacturing of prescription safety glasses, puts an onus on industry to ensure that their workers are protected against low and medium impacts.

Employers Beware

The onus is on employers to ensure their OSH requirements are met yet employers are generally ill informed about these requirements.

Safety Vision is a division of Gates Opticians set up to provide advice to employers and prescription safety eyewear. Hoya Safety has been appointed as the primary provider of certifiable safety glasses.

It is recommended that employers introduce Gates Opticians' Visioncare staff benefits programme. Visioncare provides substantial discounts to the employees and is a way of the employer reducing their contribution for safety eyewear cost of the safety glasses.
