Safety glasses are not your average eyewear. They’re specifically designed to protect your eyes from various potential hazards. The “Z87.1” in safety glasses is a reference to ANSI Z87.1.1, an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard. This standard outlines the requirements for eye protection equipment, ensuring they can withstand high impact. What does this mean for you? In simple terms, your Z87.1 safety glasses are built to shield your eyes from damage in extreme conditions.
