ANSI Z87.1

Our eyes, intricate and delicate, deserve the highest level of protection, especially in occupational settings. According to the CDC, approximately 2,000 U.S. workers suffer job-related eye injuries requiring medical treatment daily. ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses provide essential protection, ensuring safety and compliance with workplace standards. But what does ANSI Z87.1 mean, and why is it important

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1 standard specifies the requirements for safety eyewear to protect against impact, radiation, and chemical exposure. These glasses undergo rigorous testing to ensure they provide the necessary protection in various hazardous environments, including machinery operations, welding, and chemical handling.

The ANSI Z87.1 badge signifies that the eyewear meets all the criteria set by the ANSI Z87.1-2020 standard. This includes protection against impact, non-ionizing radiation, and liquid splashes. The badge is a mark of quality, indicating that the eyewear has passed both high mass and high-velocity impact tests.

Yes, Z87.1 is OSHA approved. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that all safety glasses used in workplaces must be ANSI Z87.1 certified. This ensures that the eyewear provides adequate protection against potential hazards encountered in various job settings.
