In the workplace, no one is immune to risks. The eyes are easy prey to external aggressions. This is why a professional is required to wear personal protective equipment, such as goggles. They block materials that could damage this sensitive organ and compromise quality vision.

- chemical risks: solvent splashes, corrosive products, solvents
- thermal risks: fire, heat, splashing of molten metal, cold.
Who should wear goggles?
There are areas where wearing this PPE is mandatory, as some areas are more dangerous than others, such as:

For electricians, glasses are essential protective equipment, especially when working with power tools. For them, it is the guarantee of a task carried out correctly and quickly.
