Discover high-quality PPE for your workforce with eye protection from Kingfisher Direct.

Protecting your eyes is vital in many work environments, particularly in manufacturing or chemical handling. Our wide range of eye protection offers superior defence against a variety of hazards, including flying debris and dust, sparks, chemical splashes, and harmful UV radiation. By choosing the correct type of eye protection, you’ll not only ensure safety but also comply fully with health and safety regulations.

Safety Glasses

Safety glasses are the most common form of eye protection, designed for general use and protection against low-impact hazards. In addition to practical protection, they are lightweight, comfortable for extended wear, and provide a clear field of vision.

They also provide: 

• Impact Resistance: Constructed with durable polycarbonate lenses that meet stringent safety standards (such as EN 166 in Europe or ANSI Z87.1 in the US) to withstand impact from flying particles.

• Side Shields: Built-in side shields provide lateral protection against particles from the sides.

• Comfort: Available in various styles with ergonomic features to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for different face shapes.

• Lens Coatings: Options include anti-scratch, anti-fog, and UV-filtering coatings that enhance durability, improve visibility in various conditions, and protect against sun exposure.

Safety Goggles

Safety goggles offer a higher level of protection than safety glasses, providing a complete seal around the eyes to guard against liquid splashes, fine dust, vapours, and higher-impact debris. Some of our designs also incorporate a face mask, offering even higher respiratory protection. 

They offer:

• Full Eye Protection: Designed with a flexible frame that conforms to the face, creating a tight seal that prevents hazards from entering the eye area from any angle.

• Hazard Protection: Essential in environments where chemicals, biological hazards, or fine airborne particles (such as powders or dust) are present, conforming to EN166 1.B.T 3.4.N.

• Adjustable: Secured with a fully adjustable, wide-fitting elastic head strap for a firm, customisable fit, ensuring they remain in place during rigorous activity.

• Filtration: Valved filter mask designs protect against harmful airborne particles, using disposable filter elements with 94% FFP2 filtration efficiency and EN1827:1999:+A1:2009 compliance.

• Ideal For: Chemical handling, heavy grinding, sanding, working in dusty conditions, laboratory work, and tasks involving pressurised liquid or particulate sprays.
