Nevada Safety Glasses

Our Nevada Safety Glasses combine a lightweight design with adjustable fitting features for suitable low-impact workplace applications.

The single polycarbonate lens has a 10-curve profile that provides wraparound coverage across the front and sides of the eye area. In addition, the ultra-soft nose bridge supports comfort during regular wear.

Fully adjustable side arms and a temple ratchet allow users to refine the fit and lens position. Meanwhile, the adjustable neck cord helps keep the glasses accessible between tasks.

The lens provides 99.9% UV protection. Furthermore, the glasses conform to EN166:2001, Optical Class 1 and FT low-energy impact requirements at extreme temperatures.

Nevada Safety Glasses Specifications

The exact fit will vary between users. Therefore, each wearer should check the adjustment, coverage and compatibility with other personal protective equipment before use.

Lightweight Nevada Safety Glasses

The lightweight construction helps reduce unnecessary bulk during routine workplace tasks.

This design can benefit employees who need protective eyewear for packing, inspection, assembly, maintenance and general warehouse work. Furthermore, the adjustable fit can help users position the glasses more comfortably.

Comfort remains individual. The glasses should sit securely without creating excessive pressure around the nose, ears or sides of the head.

Lightweight construction does not change the stated protection level. Always select protective eyewear according to the identified hazards and workplace risk assessment.

Ultra-Soft Nose Bridge

The ultra-soft nose bridge supports the glasses and helps improve comfort during regular wear.

Position the bridge correctly so the lens remains centred in front of both eyes. The glasses should feel secure without slipping during normal head movement.

Inspect the nose bridge before each use. Replace the glasses if it becomes damaged, detached, permanently distorted or unable to support the eyewear correctly.

Do not cut, heat or modify the nose bridge. Unapproved alterations may affect the fit and protective coverage.

10-Curve Polycarbonate Lens

The single polycarbonate lens has a 10-curve profile designed to follow the shape of the face and provide wraparound coverage.

This design can help protect the front and sides of the eye area from suitable low-energy particles approaching from different angles.

However, the lens does not create a sealed barrier. Therefore, these glasses should not replace sealed safety goggles where the task involves:

• Chemical splashes
• Fine airborne dust
• Gas
• Vapour
• Smoke
• Biological fluids
• Pressurised liquids
• Molten materials
• High-impact particles

Complete a suitable risk assessment before choosing the required eye protection.

Adjustable Side Arms

The fully adjustable side arms allow users to refine how the glasses sit around the head.

Adjust both sides evenly and check that the lens remains centred. The arms should support the glasses without causing discomfort or interfering with hearing protection, headwear or other PPE.

Do not force the adjustment beyond its intended range. Excessive pressure may damage the arms or adjustment mechanism.

Check the side arms regularly for cracks, distortion and loose components. Remove the glasses from service if they no longer remain securely adjusted.

Temple Ratchet Adjustment

The temple ratchet allows the wearer to adjust the angle of the lens.

This feature can help users position the glasses for better coverage around the brow and cheek area. It may also improve compatibility with different facial profiles.

Adjust the temple ratchet before entering the work area. Make small changes and check the position after each adjustment.

The lens should provide suitable coverage without obstructing vision or touching the eyelashes. Once adjusted, move the head normally to confirm that the glasses remain secure.

Adjustable Neck Cord

The adjustable neck cord helps keep the glasses close when the wearer temporarily removes them.

Adjust the cord so it supports the intended use without creating excessive tightness. When the glasses hang from the cord, keep the lens away from rough surfaces, tools and machinery.

The neck cord does not replace correct adjustment of the side arms while the glasses are being worn.

Take extra care around:

• Moving machinery
• Conveyor systems
• Rotating equipment
• Projecting components
• Vehicle parts
• Areas with snagging hazards

The neck cord has no specified breakaway feature. Therefore, remove it where the workplace risk assessment identifies an entanglement hazard.

99.9% UV Protection

The lens provides 99.9% UV protection according to the supplied specification.

This feature helps protect the eyes during suitable indoor and outdoor activities involving ultraviolet exposure. Consequently, the glasses may suit users who regularly move between warehouse, yard and delivery areas.

UV protection does not mean that the glasses provide protection against every form of optical radiation.

They have not been specified for:

• Welding
• Laser work
• Electrical arcs
• Intense specialist light sources
• Infrared hazards
• Any application requiring tinted or filtered lenses

Use task-specific protective eyewear where the risk assessment identifies a specialist optical hazard.

EN166:2001 Compliance

The Nevada Safety Glasses conform to EN166:2001 for personal eye protection.

EN166 covers general requirements for protective eyewear, including optical quality, construction and relevant mechanical performance classifications.

The stated conformity applies to the glasses in their supplied condition. Therefore, users should check the product markings and accompanying information before use.

Do not drill, cut, heat or otherwise modify the glasses. Unapproved alterations may affect the fit, coverage and stated protective performance.

Optical Class 1

Optical Class 1 identifies the lens class intended for continuous or extended wear under the EN166 classification system.

The optical quality supports tasks where users need to maintain clear vision while wearing protective eyewear.

However, users should stop work if the lens becomes:

• Scratched
• Clouded
• Cracked
• Contaminated
• Distorted
• Loose
• Difficult to see through

Clean or replace the glasses before continuing the task.

FT Low-Impact Classification

The FT marking confirms low-energy impact protection at extreme temperatures under the stated EN166:2001 classification.

The letter F relates to low-energy impact performance, while T indicates testing at extreme temperatures.

This classification does not indicate medium-energy or high-energy impact protection. Therefore, do not use the glasses where the task requires a higher mechanical strength rating.

Grinding, high-speed cutting and work involving forceful particle projection may require different eye protection or an additional face shield.

Choosing Nevada Safety Glasses

Choose protective eyewear according to the task, environment and hazards identified by the workplace risk assessment.

Before selecting these glasses, consider:

• Particle size
• Particle speed
• Direction of impact
• Temperature
• UV exposure
• Chemical exposure
• Dust levels
• Required side coverage
• Length of wear
• Compatibility with other PPE
• Whether sealed goggles are necessary
• Whether a face shield is also required

Low-impact glasses may suit many routine workplace tasks. However, they should not be used for higher-risk work simply because the adjustable design provides a comfortable fit.

Adjusting Nevada Safety Glasses

Complete all adjustments before entering the work area.

To adjust the glasses:

1. Place the nose bridge comfortably on the nose.
2. Position the side arms around the head.
3. Adjust both arms evenly.
4. Use the temple ratchet to refine the lens angle.
5. Check that the lens remains centred.
6. Confirm coverage around both eyes.
7. Move the head normally to check stability.
8. Adjust the neck cord where appropriate.
9. Confirm compatibility with other PPE.

Do not continue using the glasses if the adjustments fail to hold their position.

Checking the Fit

The glasses should provide stable coverage without causing excessive pressure.

Check that:

• The lens sits in front of both eyes
• The nose bridge rests comfortably
• The side arms remain secure
• The temple ratchets hold their position
• The glasses do not slide during normal movement
• Vision remains clear
• Other PPE does not displace the glasses
• The neck cord does not create a snagging risk

Different facial shapes may affect coverage. Employers should therefore confirm that the selected eyewear fits each user correctly.

Nevada Safety Glasses with Other PPE

Users may need to wear these glasses alongside:

• Safety helmets
• Hearing protection
• Dust masks
• Respiratory protective equipment
• Protective clothing
• Gloves
• Face shields

Check that each item remains correctly positioned when worn together. One piece of PPE should not displace another or create an unsafe gap.

Where a face shield is required, safety glasses may form part of the complete protection system. However, they do not automatically replace the additional protection required by the risk assessment.

Inspecting Nevada Safety Glasses

Inspect the glasses before every use.

Check the:

• Polycarbonate lens
• Nose bridge
• Side arms
• Temple ratchets
• Neck cord
• Adjustment points
• Product markings
• Overall fit

Do not use the glasses if the lens has cracks, deep scratches, distortion or severe contamination.

Likewise, replace them if the nose bridge, arms or ratchets become damaged. A damaged adjustment component may prevent the glasses from remaining securely positioned.

Cleaning Nevada Safety Glasses

Remove loose dust before wiping the polycarbonate lens because trapped particles may cause scratches.

Where appropriate, clean the glasses with lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft cloth. Rinse away residue and allow the glasses to dry naturally.

Avoid:

• Abrasive cloths
• Scouring materials
• Strong solvents
• Unverified chemical cleaners
• Excessive heat
• Sharp scraping tools
• Rough paper products

Follow any cleaning instructions supplied with the product. Replace the glasses if cleaning does not restore clear vision.

Storing Nevada Safety Glasses

Store the glasses in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and contamination.

Where possible, keep them inside a suitable case or clean storage area. Do not place tools, components or heavy objects on top of the lens or adjustable arms.

Avoid storing the glasses with chemicals or abrasive materials. In addition, keep the neck cord arranged so it does not become tangled or damaged.

Correct storage helps preserve the lens, adjustment components and general condition.

When to Replace Nevada Safety Glasses

Replace the glasses if:

• The lens becomes deeply scratched
• Vision becomes distorted
• The lens cracks
• The nose bridge becomes damaged
• The side arms no longer adjust correctly
• The temple ratchets fail to hold
• The neck cord becomes damaged
• The glasses no longer fit securely
