Made for each other

The provision of eye and respiratory
protection is a legal requirement, yet
it is often a thankless task to
persuade workers to wear them,
especially together. According to
uvex, the launch of its superfit safety
eyewear combined with its new
Classic 2310 Cup version P3 and
Classic 2210 Cup version P2 masks,
means this problem can be easily and
effectively overcome.

Research shows that the main
reason workers do not wear their
safety spectacles or masks even when
required is because they find them
uncomfortable. Uvex’s mutually
compatible products tick the
comfort box, while wearing both
specs and mask simultaneously, an
action becoming increasingly
necessary in today’s safety climate,
enhances the performance of each
individual product function.

Designed to fit and be worn
together, the mask and specs
combination works as follows:

The design of the superfit
spectacle makes for a dovetail fit
between the spectacle and mask.

The nose bridge fits perfectly
inside the mask, but does not
affect the sealing qualities, as
shown in the image below.

The combined ergonomic design
and shape of the mask and
curvature of the lens ensure that
both eye and face gaps are sealed
effectively so that the wearer
achieves a perfect seal on the face.

The thinness of the superfit lens
and reduced weight of the
spectacle ensures there is
no pressure and
movement on
the mask and
therefore avoids
the potential
of failure of
the seal.

With many other
products on the
market, the ideal position of the
eyewear is often dislodged by the
mask, or vice versa, so one or both
become infected because they sit in
the wrong position. If either the
mask or spectacle is not in the right
position, the mask will fail an HSE
mandatory face fit test, which has to
be done for all employees who wear
RPE incorporating tight-fitting
facepieces. However, with the uvex
products, employers can be
reassured that their staff will be fully
protected from all potential eye and
respiratory hazards and will be
happy to wear them at all times.
