The answer is yes. An employer must ensure the safety and health of its employees. When employees come into contact or may come into contact with substances or materials that can release splinters (or loose particles) while working, it is important that they wear the right eye protection, in the form of safety glasses. But what about prescription safety glasses and the employer's compensation? We are happy to go through all the steps with you so that it is completely clear.

First, he must identify what measures have been or can be taken to make eye protection unnecessary. If this is not possible, the exposure time to potential risks should be reduced. If that is not possible either, according to the Working Conditions Decree, an employee is entitled to (prescription) protective eyewear compensation by the employer. To do this, an employer must first carry out a risk inventory and assessment (RI&E).

Namely, the lenses (made of mineral glass or plastic) and the frame (made of metal or plastic). Both parts must meet the inspection requirements in order to call the glasses safety glasses.
EN 166 specifies the minimum requirements for a series of performance tests. This standard contains a set of requirements that can be considered mandatory for prescription safety glasses. According to the 2018 Working Conditions Guide, frames intended for safety glasses must meet these requirements.
If all requirements are met, the frame is approved. The CE mark may be affixed to this approval.
