We're a team of workplace safety enthusiasts dedicated to helping Australians protect their most precious sense: their vision.
Safety Glasses Australia was founded in 2024 by a group of workplace health and safety professionals who saw a gap in the market for reliable, unbiased information about protective eyewear. After years of working across construction sites, manufacturing plants, laboratories, and healthcare facilities, we noticed that many Australians were either not wearing proper eye protection or were using substandard products that didn't meet Australian safety standards.
We've personally witnessed the devastating consequences of preventable eye injuries. From metal shavings in a welder's eye to chemical splashes in laboratory settings, these incidents left lasting impressions on our team. We knew there had to be a better way to educate workers and employers about the importance of quality safety glasses and how to choose the right protection for specific hazards.
Our team brings together decades of combined experience in occupational health and safety, with particular expertise in personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance and Australian safety standards. We've conducted countless workplace safety audits, trained hundreds of workers in proper PPE usage, and developed safety protocols for organisations ranging from small workshops to major infrastructure projects.
What sets us apart is our hands-on approach. We don't just read product specifications and write reviews. Our team has actually worn these safety glasses in real working conditions. We've tested anti-fog coatings in the humid environments of Queensland construction sites, evaluated UV protection under the harsh Australian sun, and assessed impact resistance in industrial settings. This practical experience informs every recommendation we make.
Today, Safety Glasses Australia serves as a comprehensive resource for anyone seeking guidance on protective eyewear. Whether you're a sole trader looking for your first pair of safety glasses, a safety manager outfitting an entire workforce, or a weekend DIY enthusiast wanting proper protection for home projects, we're here to help you make informed decisions. Our commitment to the AS/NZS 1337.1 standard ensures that every product we recommend meets the rigorous requirements set by Australian and New Zealand safety authorities.

We verify every claim against Australian safety standards and real-world testing. Our recommendations are based on evidence, not manufacturer marketing.
We prioritise the comfort and safety of everyday workers. Protection that isn't comfortable won't be worn consistently.
While we earn affiliate commissions, our primary goal is to educate. We'd rather you buy the right glasses elsewhere than the wrong ones through our links.
Every product we recommend meets AS/NZS 1337.1 certification. We never compromise on compliance with Australian safety regulations.
When you visit Safety Glasses Australia, you can trust that you're getting honest, well-researched information. We're transparent about our affiliate relationships, but these never influence our recommendations. If a product doesn't meet our standards for quality and safety compliance, we won't recommend it, regardless of commission rates.
We're constantly updating our content to reflect new products, changing standards, and emerging best practices in workplace eye safety. Our team regularly attends industry conferences, participates in safety professional networks, and maintains relationships with manufacturers to stay at the forefront of protective eyewear technology.
