Stylish Safety Glasses: How to Look Good and Stay Safe
Stylish safety glasses are becoming more common for Tradies, Miners and Construction Workers who want proper eye protection without compromising style.
Safety glasses no long have to be annoying and uncomfortable necessity. You can now look good whilst wearing eye protection.
There's been a stylish safety glasses revolution!
Let's dive deep into how this happened and show you what stylish safety glasses are out there.
Why Stylish Safety Glasses are Important
Stylish safety glasses can improve safety compliance in the workplace by encouraging more people to wear eye protection.
Typical safety glasses are ugly and uncomfortable for a full day at work.
And in the past, Bosses and Safety Officers have struggled to get people to put on their safety eyewear.
Let's face it, people hated wearing them.
Now people have safety glasses that they love, they're more likely to wear them on-site. This improves overall worksite safety and is a huge win for the Safety Department!
The same goes for Tradies.
If you're self-employed or work for a small business, you might not have a team of Safety Officers on your case, but wearing safety glasses on site has always been a chore.
People even complained that they'd feel like a moron rocking up to a client's place wearing old school, ugly safeties.
By rocking good looking safety glasses, not only are you more safety compliant, but you'll look more professional when meeting with clients.
Stylish safety glasses are changing the game for people on-site and improving overall eye safety across Australia!

Types of Stylish Safety Glasses for Different Workplaces
Tradies, Construction workers and Miners are top of mind when it comes to safety compliance, but many people should use safety glasses at work.
For working outdoors, polarised safety glasses are best to give you maximum protection against the harsh Aussie sun's harmful UV rays.
You may even want a pair with blacked-out side shields to block side glare.
For Tradies who spend most of their day indoors, like Electricians or Carpenters for example, a clear lens might be your best choice.
You could also try a pair of photochromic lenses that adjust to changing light conditions if you're often going between indoors and outdoors.
If you're a Tradie who's often looking at screens between jobs, consider a blue light blocking pair to reduce eye-strain. Or, choose a Tinted lens over Polarised so it doesn't interfere with the screen.
Medical professionals need safety glasses to protect against hazardous fluids. If this is you, go for a clear lens or a blue light blocking pair.
SafeStyle have designed the Lites specifically for Medical Professionals. They're the next level of medical eye protection as they're made from an antimicrobial material - a world-first for safety glasses.
Whatever your job, or even if you love DIY, fishing or 4-wheel-driving at the weekends, safety glasses could potentially save your vision.
Choose your style and protect your eyes.

Where did Stylish Safety Glasses Come From?
SafeStyle Founder, Tim Lewis, created the world's very first pair of stylish safety glasses after he saw himself in the rear-view mirror on the way home and realised how ridiculous standard safety glasses looked.
This led him on the journey to create safety glasses that actually look good!
He wanted them to look good and be comfortable enough to wear for long periods, whilst also meeting Australian safety standards.
When it came to style, he wanted them to look so good you could wear them 'from the worksite to the weekend.
He designed a stylish frame with side shields and adapted it to meet AS/NZS 1337.1+ safety standards.
Then came a focus on comfort.
Made from a lightweight impact resistant polycarbonate, they're strong enough to protect your eyes and light enough for a full-day on the job.
They also have smooth, soft edges with sleek and light arms that don't rub at the temples. Gone are the days of harsh edges that dig into your face.
When safety glasses look and feel good, they became a something for on the job, down the pub, to the footy, down the beach... and beyond!
This started the stylish safety glasses revolution!
