The MCR Safety Law OG1 OTG is purpose-built for workers who wear prescription eyeglasses on the job. Its widened frame cavity and extended temple arms fit over most standard prescription frames while maintaining ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ compliance β no contact lenses, no prescription safety glasses, and no safety hazard from removing PPE to read labels or see fine detail. Both available variants include UV Anti-Fog coating, since fogging is amplified in OTG designs by the trapped air volume between the prescription lenses and the safety lens. For OTG with Hi-Vis frame options or additional coating tiers, see the Klondike OG2 OTG; for a non-OTG clear anti-fog option, see the BearKat BK1.
Key Features
- Fits over most standard prescription eyeglass frames: The Law OG1's extended interior cavity accommodates typical rectangular and oval prescription frames up to approximately 140mm wide β workers verify fit with their own frames before deployment in safety-critical tasks.
- UV Anti-Fog on both variants: OTG designs trap more air volume between the prescription lens and the safety lens than standard safety glasses, which amplifies fogging. Both OG1 variants ship with UV Anti-Fog coating to address this inherent OTG fogging tendency.
- ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ High Impact: Certified for high-velocity impact over prescription frames β the entire assembly (OTG safety glasses over prescription eyewear) meets the impact standard required by OSHA 1910.133 for industrial eye protection.
- Economy $9.99 price point: The Law OG1 is MCR's entry OTG model, providing a compliant prescription-compatible solution without the cost of prescription safety glasses, which typically range from $150β$500 with a corrective prescription.
- Clear and Gray tint options: Clear for indoor/low-light environments; Gray for outdoor or bright overhead lighting conditions.
- Polycarbonate lens with UV400: Blocks 99.9% of UVA and UVB β relevant for outdoor workers whose prescription glasses may not provide UV protection depending on their lens material and coating.
Available Tints & Coatings
| Tint | Coating | Best Conditions | SKU (example) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clear | UV Anti-Fog | Indoor, low-light, lab, indoor industrial | OG110AF |
| Gray | UV Anti-Fog | Outdoor, bright overhead lighting | OG112AF |
Applications
- Prescription eyeglass wearers in manufacturing: Workers on assembly lines, CNC operations, or quality inspection who cannot interrupt work to switch between prescription glasses and safety glasses β the OG1 provides compliant impact protection over existing prescription eyewear.
- Construction and trades: Electricians, plumbers, and carpenters who wear prescription glasses and move between indoor rough-in work (clear lens) and outdoor material staging (gray lens) can carry both OG1 variants economically.
- Laboratory and chemical handling: Researchers and technicians with corrective lenses who need eye protection during chemical handling β the OG1's anti-fog coating reduces the lens fogging common in lab coat environments with temperature variation.
- Visitor and contractor programs: Safety managers stocking OTG glasses for visitor use β the $9.99 price allows maintaining inventory for guests who arrive with prescription eyewear.
- Maintenance and inspection roles: Workers who perform close visual inspection tasks requiring their prescription lenses for accuracy, but who handle tools, fasteners, or equipment that creates flying debris risk.

ANSI Z87.1 Compliance
The MCR Law OG1 OTG carries ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ High Impact certification β the standard required for occupational eye protection under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 (general industry) and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.102 (construction). The Z87.1+ high-velocity rating confirms the polycarbonate lens withstands a 1/4-inch steel ball at 150 fps without fracture or excessive deformation.
Polycarbonate inherently provides UV protection blocking 99.9% of UVA/UVB radiation. Employers must conduct a hazard assessment under OSHA 1910.132(d) and provide ANSI Z87.1-compliant eye protection when flying particles, chemical splash, dust, or radiation hazards are present. These glasses satisfy that requirement for impact, UV, and optical distortion across all Z87.1 categories.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my prescription glasses will fit inside the OG1?
The Law OG1 OTG accommodates most standard-width adult prescription frames up to approximately 140mm total frame width. The best verification method is to physically try the OTG glasses over your prescription frames before use in a safety-critical environment. If the fit feels tight or the OTG temples press uncomfortably against your prescription temples, the Klondike OG2 OTG has a slightly larger cavity and may accommodate wider frames.
Why do both OG1 variants include anti-fog β can I get them without it?
No β both OG1 variants ship with UV Anti-Fog coating, and there is no non-coated OTG option in this series. MCR designs OTG glasses with anti-fog standard because the enclosed air space between prescription lenses and the safety lens creates significantly more fogging than standard safety glasses. Providing anti-fog on all OTG variants reduces the safety hazard of impaired vision from fogging in the enclosed frame cavity.
Is it OSHA-compliant to wear OTG safety glasses over prescription glasses?
Yes. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133(b)(2) and 1926.102 permit the use of safety glasses worn over prescription frames as a compliant method of providing eye protection, provided the safety eyewear carries ANSI Z87.1 certification. The Law OG1 OTG is ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ certified and satisfies this requirement. Employers must verify that the OTG fit is adequate for the specific prescription frames used β a loose or poorly fitting OTG provides reduced impact protection.
Should I choose the Law OG1 or the Klondike OG2 OTG?
Both are $9.99 and ANSI Z87.1+ certified OTG designs. Choose the Law OG1 for a simpler two-variant selection (Clear AF / Gray AF) with a Law frame. Choose the Klondike OG2 if you need Hi-Vis frame options (required in some high-traffic warehouse or road construction environments), Dual Coat variants, or the Klondike frame's larger coverage geometry. If your facility requires hi-visibility frame color on a documented PPE specification, the OG2 with Hi-Vis frame is the correct selection.
What does ANSI Z87.1+ mean on safety glasses?
ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 is the U.S. standard for occupational eye and face protection, covering impact resistance, optical clarity, and UV protection. The + suffix indicates high-velocity impact rating β tested with a 1/4-inch steel ball at 150 fps β which is the level required for most industrial and construction environments. All MCR Safety glasses in this collection carry the Z87.1+ high-impact marking.
How do I choose between Clear, Gray, and Amber lenses?
Clear lenses transmit nearly all visible light β correct for indoor work, low-light conditions, and any task where color accuracy matters. Gray/Smoke lenses cut brightness without distorting color, making them the standard choice for outdoor work in direct sunlight. Amber/Yellow lenses enhance contrast in overcast, foggy, or low-light outdoor conditions β they make edges and details pop but are not suited for bright direct sun. Indoor/Outdoor (I/O) Mirror lenses shift between both environments without changing glasses.
What is the difference between Duramass, MAX3, MAX6, and MAX36 coatings?
MCR Safety's coating tiers: Standard β base polycarbonate, no coating. Duramass β proprietary scratch-resistant hard coat, extends lens life in abrasive environments. MAX3 β enhanced anti-scratch hard coat. MAX6 β anti-fog treatment rated 10Γ more effective than standard; correct for humid, hot, or temperature-transition environments. MAX36 β polarized + anti-fog + scratch-resistant; premium outdoor lens for glare reduction near water, pavement, or reflective surfaces.
Can these be used over prescription glasses?
Standard safety glasses (non-OTG models) are not designed to fit over prescription frames. If you wear prescription eyeglasses on the job, choose the Law OG1 OTG or Klondike OG2 OTG β both are specifically designed to fit over most standard prescription frames while meeting ANSI Z87.1+ requirements.
