3M™ Virtua™ Protective Eyewear is an economy line of safety glasses that combines style, protection and affordability to safeguard workers on jobsites. Providing a wide viewing area, the wraparound design shields to keep eyes more fully protected. Contoured temples fit comfortably and snugly without pressure points but also without any looseness that causes shifting. The impact-resistant polycarbonate lens absorbs 99.9% UV rays. These safety glasses are recommended for the following tasks: chipping, chiseling, drilling, grinding, machining, masonry, pouring/casting, power fastening, riveting, sanding and sawing. Industries in which these safety glasses are commonly used include aviation, chemicals, construction, food and beverage, general manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, primary metals, and transportation. Do not use this eyewear in an industrial setting without contacting your supervisor or safety specialist to insure that it will help provide proper protection for the specific hazards in your workplace. Some operations may require special filter lenses, machine guards, goggles, face shields or other safety equipment. Virtua™ safety glasses meet the requirements of ANSI Z87.1-2015. Eye protection is important to safeguard your eyes and maintain healthy vision. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly three out of every five workers who suffered eye injuries were not wearing eye protection at the time of the accident. Wearing the correct safety eyewear for the task and for the unique needs of the worker is important. 3M recognizes the need to design comfortable and attractive eyewear, increasing the usage of safety glasses on the job. That’s why all 3M™ protective eyewear combines safety features with comfort enhancements.
