Protect your eyes with the 3M Eyewear Fit Testing System
Every day an estimated 200 eye injuries occur in the Canadian workplace. With properly fitting eyewear, it is estimated that 90% of these injuries could be prevented.¹
Eye safety is in sight.
Take the time to find the right fit for each worker. Use these resources to conduct your fit evaluation.
There are four elements for optimum fit:
-
View
Assessment to ensure the wearer can see in all directions of eye rotation without major obstruction to the field of view that would interfere with required work tasks.
-
Security
Assessment to ensure the eyewear stays in place on the wearer’s head and does not fall off with head movement.
-
Coverage
The Coverage Gauge assesses how well the eyewear covers the soft tissue area around the eyes.
-
Gaps
The Gap Gauges help to identify excessive gaps between the eyewear and the face. Large gaps can provide a clear path for flying debris.
