Keep Goggles Handy: The Benefits of Hard Hat Clips

We’ve all seen it, goggles tossed on toolboxes, hanging off machinery, or stuffed into a pocket “just for a minute.” But that minute turns into a hazard fast. Whether it’s eye protection left behind or gear damaged in a toolbox, misplacing PPE isn’t just frustrating, it can be dangerous.

 

In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that eye injuries result in roughly 20,000 workplace incidents each year. Many of those could be avoided simply by making goggles easier to access and harder to misplace.

 

That’s exactly where hard hat goggle clips come in. These small, smart accessories, like our Goggle Guard® Clips. Making it effortless to keep eye protection right where it belongs: on your head and ready to go.

 

What’s the Problem with Goggle Storage?

Let’s be real, goggles aren’t always comfortable to wear when you don’t need them, and setting them down “just for now” is a hard habit to break. But this habit leads to:

• Goggles getting scratched or lost
• Gear cluttering walkways
• Increased risk of tripping or delays
• Non-compliance with OSHA’s PPE access requirements

The solution? Keep goggles close without keeping them on.
