3M Safety Glasses model 17-5118-3040 feature a blue-black frame designed to provide certified eye protection that meets EN 166 standards. These protective spectacles combine wrap-around coverage with a streamlined profile to shield eyes from particles, minor impacts and non-hazardous liquid splashes in industrial and workshop environments. The glasses are intended for use where certified eye protection is required, offering a balance of comfort and durability for regular wear during tasks such as maintenance, construction and laboratory work.

Advantages

The 3M blue-black frame provides a secure fit and stable positioning without causing excessive pressure on the temples. The lens design ensures wide peripheral vision while maintaining frontal protection against flying particles and droplets. Constructed from impact-resistant materials and produced to meet EN 166 certification, these safety glasses deliver consistent optical clarity and reliable protection for routine industrial use. The finish and frame geometry allow compatibility with other personal protective equipment such as helmets and hearing protection.

How to use

Before each use, inspect the lenses and frame for scratches, cracks or other damage and replace the glasses if any compromise to integrity is found. Place the glasses over the eyes and position the temples comfortably behind the ears so that the lens edges sit close to the face to minimise gaps. Use in conjunction with other required personal protective equipment as dictated by workplace risk assessment. Clean lenses regularly with a mild soap solution or manufacturer-recommended cleaner and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive materials that could reduce optical clarity or compromise protective properties.

Usage recommendations

Do not use these glasses for protection against high-energy impacts, molten metal, or hazardous chemical exposure unless specifically rated for those hazards. Replace the eyewear if lenses become deeply scratched, cracked or warped. Store in a protective case away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain material performance and certification validity.
