we found finding hard hats for them was an eventful experience

Hi Rebecca - thanks - yes it's a tricky one. I am trying to find suitable safety glasses that are also easy to take on and off. String on the glasses is also an idea we will trial too.

Did you end up finding hard hats?

Hi Jessie. Contact Albie Hanson from Kodak Lens 027 4756 818 albieatlensdotcodotnz . He is an expert in safety glasses and is on the Standards committee. I'm sure he will be able to point you in the right direction and have some solutions for you.

no there was nothing available a couple of years ago, so unfortunately we had to go through the process of finding alternative work, which they were happy about.

You may find a goggle style is more comfortable as they have a stretch band around the side & ears as opposed to arms

Thank you so much. I will try this and give it a go.
:cool:

Hi everyone
I managed to source a great pair from Armour Safety. (armoursafety.co.nz) the Code is - eyeclear They seem to fit well so we will trial those. Thanks again.

Some thoughts to add:
What are they doing, might a visor be a better option? they can be fitted over the turn by adjusting the strap.
What do your sikh team do for reading/sunglasses in their off time - that might lead you to an in-work safety solution.
