Bolle Safety UNIVERSALPSI Universal Anti-Fog Safety Goggles

Yes. The Bolle Safety Universal Anti-Fog (SKU: UNIVERSALPSI) meets ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 High Impact requirements, the standard required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 for industrial eye protection. The Z87.1 marking appears on the frame and lens. High-impact Z87.1+ rated protectors withstand a steel ball impact at 150 fps (frame) and 102 fps (lens), far exceeding the basic impact standard.

Safety glasses protect the front and sides of the eye but leave gaps where dust, splash, or vapors can enter from above, below, or the inner corners. Safety goggles use a flexible frame that seals against the face, providing 360-degree protection around the eye socket. OSHA requires goggle-level protection for chemical splash, dust, fine particle, and optical radiation hazards where the direction of threat is not limited to the front.

The Bolle Safety Universal Anti-Fog provide wraparound protection appropriate for dust and debris. For chemical splash operations, verify that the specific model you select carries the ANSI Z87.1 D3 liquid splash designation. Direct-vented goggles are NOT suitable for chemical splash — select an indirect-vented or non-vented model for splash hazards.

The Bolle Safety Universal Anti-Fog feature a factory-applied anti-fog lens coating that significantly reduces fogging in humid, high-temperature, and perspiration-heavy environments. To maintain coating effectiveness, clean lenses with a soft cloth and mild soap — avoid abrasive cleaners or paper towels that can scratch the coating. Anti-fog coatings typically remain effective for 1–2 years with proper care.

The Bolle Safety Universal Anti-Fog are not specifically designed as OTG (Over-The-Glasses) goggles and may not comfortably accommodate prescription frames. If you require goggle protection over prescription eyewear, we recommend our Uvex Stealth OTG (S3970DF) which is specifically designed for this purpose. Alternatively, prescription safety glasses with goggle-style side shields may be appropriate for your application.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 (General Industry) and 29 CFR 1926.102 (Construction) require employers to provide eye and face protection whenever employees are exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids, caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, potentially injurious light radiation, or a combination of these hazards. ANSI Z87.1 is the referenced standard. OSHA specifically requires goggles (rather than safety glasses) for chemical splash, dust operations, and certain grinding applications. The Bolle Safety Universal Anti-Fog (UNIVERSALPSI) meets ANSI Z87.1 and is an accepted form of eye protection under 29 CFR 1910.133.
