AUTOMOTIVE

ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact safety eyewear with chemical splash (D3/D4), anti-fog (AF), and anti-scratch coatings is best for automotive workers facing flying metal particles, grinding sparks, oils, solvents, and battery acids during assembly, repair or painting.​

Essential Features

High-impact rated lenses with appropriate side shields or wraparound designs pass high-velocity impact tests (Z87+ marking) for general use.  When required, prescription inserts for masks provide clear optics for precision tasks like welding or detailing. Polarized lenses should be considered for workers who are frequently outside.​

Additional Considerations

The Automotive industry is one which has a myriad of specialized tasks.  Special consideration should be given to each individual task, and written assessments should be documented to ensure the proper eyewear is selected for each job role.
