UTILITIES

ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact safety eyewear with anti-fog, UV/IR protection, and chemical splash resistance is best for utility workers facing electrical arcs, flying debris, dust, and extreme weather during line work, pole climbing, or substation maintenance.​  Non-conductive frames are most certainly required for many jobs within this industry.

Essential Features

Wraparound non-conductive frames with side shields ensure full coverage and peripheral vision while passing high-velocity impact tests (Z87+ marking). Anti-fog (AF) coatings prevent fogging in humid or temperature-fluctuating conditions, and tinted or photochromic options block glare and UV radiation for outdoor tasks.​

Additional Considerations

Tight-fitting or sealed eyewear should be required for utility hazards like sparks or molten metal.  If required, prescription inserts for full masks accommodate corrected vision without compromising protection.
