ISEA Z87.1-2015 PDF Download

The ISEA Z87.1-2015 standard outlines the requirements and guidelines for the design, testing, selection, care, and use of eye and face protectors in various occupational and educational environments. This standard aims to minimize the occurrence and severity of injuries resulting from hazards such as impact, non-ionizing radiation, and liquid splash exposures.

The standard covers a range of activities and industries where eye and face protection is necessary, including machinery operations, welding and cutting, chemical handling, and assembly operations. It emphasizes the need to protect individuals from potential hazards in these environments.

However, it is important to note that the standard does not cover certain hazardous exposures, such as bloodborne pathogens, X-rays, high energy particulate radiation, microwaves, radio-frequency radiation, lasers, masers, and sports and recreational activities. These exposures may require specific and specialized protective measures that are not addressed in this standard.
