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.
