When do you need 3M eye and face protection?
It is important to protect your senses. To this day, many accidents still occur that result in permanent eye damage. You can prevent this with good eye and face protection.
It depends on the work you perform which type of protection is the right choice. Protect your eyes with safety glasses. This is suitable when you work with substances that are not harmful to the skin, such as (coarse) dust, grinding splashes and liquid splashes.
Do you come into contact with splinters, infrared radiation and flames, laser or UV during your work? Then we recommend that you use a face shield. A face shield protects both the eyes and the face.
Types of eye and face protection
There are various personal protective equipment to protect the eyes and face against risks.
Safety glasses
You can quickly suffer eye damage. You can prevent this with safety glasses. Just a little bit of dirt can irritate your eyes, so be prepared.
Safety glasses look like regular glasses, but the lenses are made of different material. The lenses of safety glasses are made of mineral glass or special plastic (polycarbonate or acetate). Safety glasses are available in various lens colors. Which color you need depends on the work. There are safety glasses with a clear lens, a yellow lens and an orange lens. Many of the lenses have a coating for extra protection.
When buying safety glasses, it is important that the glasses fit your face properly. When dealing with splashes of acids or alkalis, heat-resistant safety glasses are essential.

Safety glasses may not provide enough protection in the workplace when, for example, you come into contact with chemicals that are also harmful to the skin. A face shield is then safer to use.
