DESCRIPTION:
This video takes the key points from "0027 E - True Story - Safety Glasses Saved His Life - PPE" and goes even further into why side shields and impact-rated eyewear are non-negotiable when it comes to protecting your eyes. Unlike prescription glasses or non-impact-rated sunglasses, which leave dangerous gaps and offer zero protection from flying debris, this video shows how they can actually make things worse. You’ll see some eye-opening tests where glasses are literally broken or fired at to demonstrate just how crucial it is to wear the right protection. And yes, prescription glasses can be impact-rated—so you don’t have to compromise vision for safety.

Whether you're in the military, hitting the shooting range, or hunting, the risks to your eyes are real. It’s easy to brush off the need for safety glasses, but this video will make you realize why you can’t afford to. The truth is: "You don’t have to be blind to be safe." Many people avoid over-the-glasses (OTG) protection because they worry it’ll affect their sight. But the bottom line is clear: you can still see clearly and be safe at the same time.

TIPS ON HOW TO MAXIMIZE THIS VIDEO:
Before you hit play, get your team engaged by asking them to focus on a specific moment in the video. For example: “Watch closely when we test the glasses against impact. What happens when they aren’t rated for protection? Pay attention to what those gaps can really do.” This will spark curiosity and keep everyone more engaged throughout the video. After the video, debrief with your crew: “What would have happened if those glasses weren’t impact-rated?” or “Why do you think people avoid OTG protection, and how can we make it easier to get them to wear it?” Keeping the conversation interactive will make the lesson stick, and your team will be much more likely to prioritize safety after seeing just how important it is.
