Safety Glasses, Goggles and Eye Protection
Eye injuries happen in a split second and can be permanent. Safety glasses are inexpensive and protect against flying particles, dust, chemical splashes and glare. Use the form to request a quote for safety spectacles, goggles and face shields in the quantities you need.
Types of eye protection
Safety spectacles with polycarbonate lenses and side protection are the everyday choice for workshops, construction and general industry. Clear lenses suit indoor work, grey or smoke lenses cut glare outdoors, and amber lenses increase contrast in low light. Anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings are worth paying for in humid conditions. Safety goggles seal around the eyes for dust, grinding and chemical splashes, and over-glasses models fit over prescription spectacles. Face shields protect the whole face during grinding, chemical handling and brush cutting, and are worn with glasses underneath.
Standards and prescription safety glasses
Eye protection sold in South Africa is commonly certified to EN 166, with markings on the frame and lens showing impact strength and suitability for liquids, dust or molten metal. Workers who wear prescription glasses can be issued prescription safety glasses with certified frames and lenses, or over-glasses goggles. Prescription safety eyewear is often arranged through an optometrist partner, so mention it in your request.
Safety glasses prices and buying in bulk
Safety glasses prices are low per pair, so most companies buy boxes of 12 or more and issue them freely. Price depends on lens coating, frame style and brand. Wraparound styles with adjustable arms fit most faces, and a lanyard and microfibre pouch extend their life. Ask suppliers for a mixed order of clear and tinted lenses if your teams work indoors and outdoors.
How to choose a safety glasses supplier
Price matters, but the cheapest price is not always the best value. When you receive your safety glasses quote, check:
- Certification – ask which South African (SANS) or international standards the products meet, and request test certificates for large orders.
- Stock and lead times – a supplier who holds stock locally can replace damaged or wrong-sized items quickly.
- Total cost – look at the price including delivery, branding and VAT, not only the unit price.
- After-sales service – find out about exchanges, warranties and whether the supplier can set up an account for repeat orders.
Our service matches your request with a supplier who stocks certified products, so you can check these points before you commit. It costs nothing and you are under no obligation to accept the quote.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I wear normal sunglasses instead of safety glasses?
- No. Ordinary sunglasses are not impact-rated and can shatter. Use tinted safety glasses certified to EN 166 for outdoor work.
- When do I need goggles instead of glasses?
- Use goggles where dust, liquids or chemical splashes could get around the sides of glasses, such as grinding, mixing chemicals or cleaning.
