Many of us work outside and require eye protection.  Whether you are a construction worker or a weekend warrior, protecting your eyes is not an option.  Not only are their hazards like flying debris but we also need to worry about the invisible rays from the sun that can damage our eyes and cause disease like cataracts.  Our Venue Safety Sunglasses will not only protect you from impact, but they will also shelter your eyes from the Ultraviolet A & B rays.

The Venue meets or exceeds the impact requirements set forth by ANSI and enforced by OSHA.  They also have polycarbonate lenses that naturally block out 99.9% of the suns harmful rays.  Best of all, the comfortable design is stylish offers great visibility.  We haven’t even talked about the price.  For under $5, the Venue is the best value, rich with great features like:

• UVA & UVB Protection
• Stylish Mirror Polycarbonate lenses

• Soft rubber temple inserts for greater comfort
• Scratch resistant Coated Lenses

Wearing safety glasses, respirators and other PPE as required in many workplaces doesn’t stop there.  Maintianing that equipment is just as important.  Yes, much of the equipment is disposable but most are “re-sposable”, meaning that the device can be used several times before it is disposed.  Proper cleaning and maintenance will create a safer, healthier workplace.

While cleaning, the user can inspect the PPE for damage, visible wear or any sign that would indicate the device should be replaced.  Cleaning will also reduce any cross contamination or infectious growth that could be harmful to the user.  Our affordable Safety Equipment Cleaning Wipes are perfect for the job.  These pre-moistened wipes are large and measure in at 8 1/4″ X 5 1/4″.  They are individually wrapped towelettes and are used to clean face-shields, goggles, safety glasses, face-pieces, respirator parts or even hearing protection like ear muff cushions.  the wipes are lint free and come in a dispensing box that will make life easier for you while you are on the job.  Best of all, these wipes are alcohol free.  Take a look at our safety equipment wipes here.  There are 100 pre-moistened wipes per dispensing box and are a great value at just over $5.
