Make sure your protective eyewear is up to CSA standard
While there’s no shortage of protective eyewear on the market, not all are created equal.
For instance, it might be hard to believe, but not all safety glasses and goggles sold in Canada are approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
CSA is recognized as the largest standards group in Canada and their approval on a product is dependent on a number of rigorous tests. Taking the time to ensure that your safety equipment meets this standard is one of the ways that you can feel confident that the product will work as it’s supposed to, when it’s supposed to.
