Each of the four new frame styles in the Shockwave™ collection offers something distinct, whether you’re focused on flexibility, affordability, premium coverage, or all-day wearability. Here’s what sets them apart:

Lens Options That Work As Hard As You Do

Hexarmor doesn’t just offer new frames — it introduces a lens system designed to address every challenge your job throws at you.

• Clear Tint: Ideal for indoor environments with standard lighting — great for warehouses, inspection rooms, or general-purpose work.

• High Contrast: Enhances detail in foggy, low-light, or high-glare conditions. Particularly useful in early-morning shifts or mining operations.

• Blue Mirror: Built for outdoor environments with intense sun exposure. Reflective and stylish, but designed with performance in mind.

• Polarized: Reduces glare from reflective surfaces like wet floors, metal structures, or glass panels, making them ideal for utility and oil & gas work.

• Bifocal Lenses: Available in clear and grey, these are designed for tasks that require constant switching between reading and scanning.

What Are OSHA’s Minimum Requirements for Safety Glasses?

Before you invest in eye protection, it’s important to understand the OSHA safety standards for eyewear — especially if you’re in a high-risk industry like construction, manufacturing, oil & gas, or maintenance. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that all safety glasses used in the workplace must meet the ANSI Z87.1 standard.

This ANSI standard — updated most recently in ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2020 — specifies the design, performance, and marking criteria for impact-resistant eyewear. Here are the minimum OSHA-compliant safety glass requirements:

• ANSI Z87.1 Certification: Glasses must be tested and marked with “Z87+” to indicate high-impact protection.

• Side Shields: For jobs with flying debris or particles, integrated or detachable side shields are often required.

• UV Protection: If working outdoors, OSHA encourages eyewear that blocks harmful ultraviolet light.

• Chemical Splash Protection: If there’s exposure to liquids or fumes, goggles or sealed eyewear may be required instead of open-frame glasses.
