Polarised safety glasses are a popular type of protective eyewear and are now required in some industries as part of a worker’s personal protective equipment. Aside from harmful UV radiation, exposure to sunlight also disturbs vision through glare in the eyes. This is a particular problem for outdoor workers where there is minimal cover or shade, and when polarised safety glasses are at their most effective.
There are numerous safety glasses in the market, but here are the 5 most popular polarised safety glasses available in Southland.
