Electrical Safety Glasses - Non-Conductive

At RX-Safety, we carry the industry’s most trusted names in electrical safety glasses, including Phillips Safety, Titmus, Onguard, and ArmouRx. We insist on providing you with safety gear that meets both ANSI Z87.1 standards and specific electrical safety requirements for maximum protection.

Standard safety glasses often include metal components such as hinge screws or wire cores in the temples. In high-voltage electrical work environments, even small conductive elements can allow electrical current to travel through the frame, significantly increasing the risk of electrical shock or arc flash exposure to the face.

Dielectric protection is a critical requirement for PPE used in energized electrical environments. In PPE applications, dielectric protection refers to insulating materials that prevent electrical current from conducting through the equipment, reducing the risk of shock, burn, and arc flash injuries.

Our non-conductive electrical safety glasses feature no metal parts whatsoever. Using specialized polymers and “snap-fit” hinge technology, we ensure that our glasses provide zero electrical conductivity.
Don’t let your eyewear be a liability on the job. Browse our selection of 100% non-conductive electrical safety glasses designed for electricians, linemen, and high-voltage work environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dielectric materials are 100% metal free and non-conductive, meaning electrical current can’t travel through the frame to reach your skin.

Certainly! Some brands, such as OnGuard and ArmouRx, specifically design glasses that can accommodate high-index prescription lenses, all while remaining metal-free and non-conductive.

Our non-conductive electrical safety glasses are 100% metal-free. Instead, they use specialized plastic pins or snap-together hinges, so they conduct zero electricity to your skin.

Although our electrical safety glasses are non-conductive, it’s important to note that you should always check the specific Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) rating your jobsite requires and buy non-conductive safety glasses accordingly. You may also pair them with a full-face shield if necessary.

Both Phillips Safety and Titmus offer dielectric options. Titmus is best known for their durable, stylish, comfortable electrical safety glasses, while Phillips Safety often focuses on more customized frames for industrial specialties like laser, radiation, and glassworking.

They are! We offer a variety of lens coatings. However, electricians in particular should ensure that polarized lenses don’t interfere with digital diagnostic screens. When buying electrical safety glasses online, prioritize:

  • High-quality lens technologies like Trivex
  • Lower-polarization coatings
  • Neutral gray tints
  • Anti-reflective (AR) coatings on the back surface of the lens

Polarized lenses are often problematic when reading screens, but choosing specialized, high-definition (HD), or “Active” polarized lenses can minimize interference.

Absolutely. Every pair of non-conductive electrical safety glasses we offer meets or exceeds the ANSI Z87.1 high-impact requirements.

Rest assured, we only offer 100% metal-free frames in our line of electrical safety glasses. For peace of mind, look for “Dielectric” or “Non-Conductive” in the product description.

Category Highlights

Understanding Dielectric Construction

Dielectric construction in safety eyewear refers to the use of non-conductive materials that resist electrical flow under high-voltage conditions. Our non-conductive electrical safety glasses are manufactured using resins and advanced plastics that feature high electrical-flow resistance. In case of an accidental arc flash or contact with live wires, your electrical safety glasses won’t conduct electricity to your skin.

These frames, many from well-known and well-regarded brands like Titmus and ArmourRx, feature zero metal screws, wire-reinforced temples, or other metal pieces, eliminating the risk of sparks or conduction and making them an ideal inclusion in any electrician’s PPE kit.
