Tornado safety goggles with rubber

Tornado safety glasses for impact protection in professional environments

Tornado safety glasses are designed to protect the eyes where there is a risk of flying debris and impacts. Furthermore, their rubberised design improves the fit throughout the working day. Consequently, the wearer can work more safely and with fewer distractions.

In practice, these goggles are used in sectors where particles are generated or where work involves processes requiring eye protection. For example, they are commonly used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, painting, plastics, fumigation, agriculture and livestock farming. They are also suitable for maintenance and repetitive tasks where lightweight goggles make all the difference.

Indirect ventilation and real comfort for everyday use

A common problem with closed-frame goggles is condensation. That is why Tornado safety goggles feature indirect ventilation, which helps reduce fogging. Furthermore, the frame is made from PVC, a flexible and lightweight material. Consequently, the fit is more comfortable and adapts better to different wearers.

• Flexible, lightweight PVC: improves comfort during long shifts.
• Metal-free: useful when seeking to avoid metal components.
• Weight: 78 g, so they are less noticeable during continuous use.

Regulations and marking for professional purchase

These Tornado safety glasses comply with standard EN 166. Furthermore, the B lens marking indicates resistance to medium-energy impacts. Therefore, the purchasing manager can justify the choice using clear, standard criteria.

How to choose the right ones

First, confirm whether the main risk is impact or flying debris. Next, consider an elasticated fit if the operator moves around a lot. Also, prioritise indirect ventilation if the environment is prone to condensation. Finally, remember that good safety glasses are bought to be worn, not to be stored away.
