MSA EYE PROTECTION


The MSA range of eye protection has been designed to protect workers from immediate and long-term dangers.
Our products have been designed to provide the ideal balance between fit, comfort, protection and style.
High strength, lighweight materials are used to provide robustness for frames and lenses whilst the latest
technology delivers hard coating, anti scratch lenses and anti fog properties.
MSA offers spectacles, goggles and welding helmets for a variety of work applications that involve an immediate risk of impact
from flying debris, chemical splash, dust, sparks and glare.
In addition, all MSA spectacles offer 100% protection from harmful UV rays to protect against long-term cumulative eye damage


A SENSITIVE ORGAN WE NEED TO PROTECT
“At a glance” our eyes capture very quickly all kinds of information. Our eyes provide us
with a view of the world and they add a quality to our life.
Hazards that exist in countless working areas can cause severe damage to human
vision within just a second. Possible consequences of such an accident reach from a
simple temporary irritation up to total loss of sight. Therefore in Australian National
and State Occupational Health and Safety Legislation, European Labour Legislation and
Australian Standards it recognised that eye protection is a major concern.


RISK AWARENESS – THINGS TO CONSIDER
Most injuries are caused by mechanical (particles such as metal
fragments), chemical or harmful radiation or a combination of these or
other hazards. Anyone working in or passing through areas that pose eye
hazards should wear appropriate protective eyewear. The vast majority of
eye injuries are preventable if appropriate eyewear is available and worn
consequently. Protective eyewear that is ergonomic, comfortable and
adapts well to the users style and preferences will be worn.


INVISIBLE RISKS – RADIATION
All MSA lenses fully absorb UV radiation,
e.g. by sunlight, which even at low dose
exposure over a long period can cause
chronic damage to the cornea and crystal
corps of the eye.
