Personal protective equipment for the head, eyes and face, including helmets, goggles and shields for industrial, construction and welding tasks.
Head, eye and face protection is required in environments where falling objects, flying particles, chemical splashes or intense radiation are present. Safety helmets protect against impacts and penetration, while eyewear and shields prevent injury from mechanical, chemical and optical hazards.
Selecting the right equipment involves assessing the specific risks of the task. Industrial helmets are graded by impact resistance, while eyewear is chosen based on the type of hazard, such as fine dust, chemical liquids or high-velocity impact.
Each line below explains what it is, where it is used, and what to include in your enquiry so we can quote accurately.
Industrial helmets protect the head against falling objects and side impacts. They feature adjustable suspension systems for fit and comfort during long shifts.
Buying noteSpecify the required impact protection level and any need for integrated visors or earmuffs.
Safety goggles provide a seal around the eyes, protecting against dust, splashes and impact. Safety glasses are used for general impact protection where a full seal is not required.
Buying noteState whether the hazard is dust, chemical splash or mechanical impact.
Face shields protect the entire face from flying debris, sparks and splashes. They are often worn in combination with safety goggles or glasses for maximum protection.
Buying noteConfirm if the shield needs to be mounted on a safety helmet or if standalone headgear is required.
Welding helmets protect the eyes and face from intense light, UV radiation and sparks. Auto-darkening filters adjust the shade level automatically based on the welding arc.
Buying noteProvide the welding process and typical amperage to determine the necessary shade level.
Specifically designed to prevent liquid ingress, these goggles feature indirect ventilation or no ventilation to shield against hazardous chemical splashes.
Buying noteList the chemicals being handled to ensure material compatibility.

Helmets should be replaced if they sustain an impact or show signs of degradation; otherwise, follow the manufacturer’s recommended lifespan.
Yes, over-the-glass (OTG) goggles are designed to fit comfortably over standard prescription eyewear.
Direct ventilation allows airflow for cooling but doesn’t protect against liquids; indirect ventilation uses angled vents to block liquid splashes.
No, only shields with appropriate filter shades are suitable for welding to protect against radiation.
