Eye and face protection solutions
Choose eye and face protection according to the hazard, exposure direction, lens or visor marking, optical needs and compatibility with helmets, respirators and hearing protection.
Safety goggles
Closer-fitting protection for chemical splash, droplets, dust and fine-particle exposure.
Face shields
Wider face coverage for splash, flying particles and task-specific impact hazards.
Prescription safety eyewear
Protective eyewear designed for workers who require vision correction during the task.
Laser safety eyewear
Specialist filters selected for the laser wavelength, power and operating conditions.
1
Identify the hazard
Assess impact, dust, liquid splash, chemical mist, heat, sparks, glare, ultraviolet, infrared or laser radiation.
2
Match coverage and sealing
Safety glasses suit selected impact risks; goggles add closer coverage; face shields provide wider facial protection when used with suitable eye protection.
3
Check markings and optics
Confirm lens and frame markings, impact rating, splash or dust performance, shade or filter specification and the site's required standard.
4
Confirm fit and upkeep
Check comfort, field of view, anti-fog needs, prescription requirements, PPE compatibility, cleaning, storage and replacement criteria.
Singapore workplace context
Integrate eye protection with workplace risk control
Singapore WSH guidance supports selecting PPE after assessing the work activity and residual risk. Safety glasses, goggles and face shields provide different levels and areas of coverage.
- Use the risk assessment and SDS for chemical work
- Ensure ordinary prescription spectacles are not treated as safety eyewear
- Wear a compatible face shield with suitable goggles where wider splash protection is needed
- Keep lenses and visors clean, undamaged and ready for use
Important: A face shield generally provides secondary eye protection and should not automatically replace safety glasses or goggles. Laser and welding hazards require source-specific filters; ordinary tinted lenses are not a substitute.
Frequently asked questions
Eye & face protection FAQ
What eye protection is suitable for chemical splash?
Closer-fitting chemical splash goggles are generally more appropriate than open safety glasses. A compatible face shield may be added where the assessment identifies wider face exposure.
Can a face shield be worn without safety glasses or goggles?
A face shield protects a wider facial area but is generally secondary protection for the eyes. Suitable safety glasses or goggles are normally worn underneath, according to the hazard.
Do ordinary prescription spectacles count as safety eyewear?
No. Workers who need vision correction should use suitable prescription safety eyewear or protective over-spectacles that meet the workplace requirement.
How is laser safety eyewear selected?
Selection must consider the laser wavelength, output, exposure conditions and required optical density. The eyewear marking and technical data must match the specific laser system.
