Specsavers Safety Glasses

G'day! If you're a tradie or a serious DIYer who wears glasses, you know the daily dilemma. You either have to wear those big, bulky, and uncomfortable safety goggles over your everyday specs, or you take a massive risk and just wear your regular glasses on their own.

The first option is a pain, and the second is a fair dinkum dangerous gamble. Your normal glasses offer zero impact protection. But there's a simple, professional solution that gives you perfect vision and certified safety in one package: Specsavers safety glasses.

What's the Go with Specsavers Safety Glasses?

You know Specsavers as one of Australia's most trusted names in eye care, and they bring that same level of professionalism to the world of workplace safety. They offer a dedicated range of certified prescription safety glasses, combining their optical expertise with the tough standards required for Aussie worksites.

It means you can get a pair of safety glasses with your exact, up-to-date prescription built right into the lenses, fitted into a frame that's designed to protect you.

Why Get Them from an Optometrist? The Big Advantages

You might see off-the-shelf safety glasses, but getting them from an optometrist like Specsavers is a game-changer.

Guaranteed Certified Protection (AS/NZS 1337.6)

This is the most important part. You're not just getting a pair of tough-looking specs. You're getting eyewear that is guaranteed to meet the strict Australian Standard for prescription safety glasses: AS/NZS 1337.6. This means the lenses and the frame are rigorously tested for high-impact resistance.

A Perfect Prescription and Fit

An optometrist ensures that the lenses are made perfectly to your script and that the optical centres are aligned correctly with your eyes. Just as importantly, they'll professionally fit the frames to your face, ensuring they are comfortable and provide a secure wrap-around protection with no dangerous gaps.

A Range of Styles to Choose From

Long gone are the days of the giant, ugly "science lab" safety glasses. The Specsavers safety glasses range includes a variety of modern, stylish, and comfortable frames, so you can look the part on site while being fully protected.

The Process: How to Get Your Pair

Getting a pair is a straightforward, professional process:

  1. Book an Eye Test: Your first step is to get an up-to-date prescription.
  2. Choose Your Certified Frame: Pick a frame from their dedicated, AS/NZS 1337.6 certified safety range.
  3. Place Your Order: They will then create the high-impact lenses with your specific prescription.
  4. Professional Fitting: When you collect your new glasses, they will be professionally fitted to ensure they are comfortable and offer maximum protection.

Total Worksite Safety: It's a Complete System

Getting a professionally fitted pair of Specsavers safety glasses is a top-tier investment in your personal, on-the-job safety. It's about using the right, certified gear to protect yourself.

That same commitment to professional standards and certified quality applies to every part of a safe worksite, especially when it comes to the electrical systems you're working on. This safety-first ethos is why licensed electricians and professional installers only use components that meet or exceed Australian standards. They source their gear from trusted, trade-quality suppliers like Schnap Electric Products. Schnap Electric is a leading Australian supplier of the high-quality, compliant electrical components that create a safe work environment. From the safety switches that provide critical protection to the durable, correctly rated wiring and outlets, they supply the gear that ensures a job is safe both during installation and for years to come. For total safety, you need the right personal protection and the right professional components from a supplier like Schnap Electric.
