-WARNING - DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME
Every day, about 2,000 people endure job-related eye injuries that are serious enough to require medical treatment. It’s estimated that 90% of these injuries could be prevented by wearing proper eye protection.
Safety glasses in the US have to be stamped with the ANSI code Z87 to protect against hazards of the workplace like impact, heat, liquid splash, and dust.
Today, we’re going to do something fun and test out 3 different types of glasses commonly worn to show differences in performance? Why? Because it’s fun.
#1 - Dust Test
Most eye injuries occur when small, flying particles get in your eye and cause an abrasion. We put sticky substances on the eye of each dummy. Let’s check out how each pair of glasses perform in protecting against dusts.
#2 - High Impact Test
Some of the most serious injuries come from fast-moving objects like the fragments of a broken grinding wheel. You want your glasses to be shatter proof and protect against projectiles. If your glasses have a “+” sign next to the Z87, it means they’re rated for impacts. These have the plus sign, so let’s see how they do against a nail gun.
3 - Broad impact
Just as often, eye injuries are also from broad impacts, like a wrench being dropped from above while working vehicles or equipment. Let’s see how our glasses do.
Wear the right protection to guard against eye injuries.

Safety Glasses Impact Test

Hey! Good video, who cares about the unscientific! Too often eye injuries are accompanied by excuses about not wearing PPE! Thanks!

[@AllySafety]

Thanks! It helps to see the difference illustrated too. When I saw how the ordinary glasses shattered it was eye opening - again, sorry for the pun.

[@AllySafety]

Hi everyone! Thanks for watching this fun and highly unscientific safety glasses impact test. The point was to illustrate the difference between glasses types for those among us who try to pass off ordinary glasses or sunglasses as safety glasses. As you'll see, not all eyewear is created equal. Let me know what you think in the comments down below!

[@MindfulBarbarian]

The duct tape is a great idea!

[@AllySafety]

Thanks!

[@SWMGT]

Cool video. Fun one to watch!

[@AllySafety]

Thanks!

Hi Rachel, thanks for showing different safety glasses because each eyewear is not the same. Some might be more effective than others.

[@AllySafety]

Thanks Malik!

Do you ship to UAE or any store ? I want it for my team at site.

[@deejaeee3253]

This was cool

[@vinodkhatri1817]

I am be like watching Discovery Tv, Amazing toughness.

[@ratibor3000]

Cool

[@vikkimcdonough6153]

It's pretty remarkable how durable the lenses of even the non-safety glasses were (which is perhaps less surprising given that modern eyeglasses and sunglasses generally have polycarbonate lenses for shatter resistance); unfortunately for the poor dummy wearing the non-safety glasses, that didn't protect them from the impact popping the lenses out of their frames and smashing them into the dummy's eye.

[@AllySafety]

Yeah, kinda shows some of the limitations!

[@Cupcup14]

Answer is 2,000 for those on goggle class room

[@TheM7016]

[@AllySafety]
