A Shade Of Safety

Almost as many as there are environments that require a certain level of protection, a range of safety glasses are there to provide it. They can vary in the level of protection. And to achieve this, people make use of different material for the glasses and often adjustments in the actual design of the armature. The variations of (day- and artificial) light, moist and temperature, next to conditions where there are chemicals or sharp chunks of material involved, all determine the nature, thickness and shape of the chosen material. It’s obvious that a construction worker needs a very different pair of safety glasses than a skier or a surgeon. Maybe not a real surprise. Perhaps this one is: our sunglasses, might be a fashion item, but are strictly speaking safety glasses as well. From blue to black eyes, this is the only set of eyes that we got, they all need protection, we better keep an eye on them! Image by Photobucket/nuttacres
