Care to elaborate?

I've been in multiple plants with the same restrictions on tinted or mirrored safety glasses indoors. I'm pretty sure the idea came from a National Safety Council memo awhile back about factory light levels and slip/trips/& falls, as a number of falls were attributed to them.

We are not getting anything. IMO. Uvex is using the form as a money making list. They are probably going to sell the list with all the personal information to the highest bidder.

Or it's a mass conspiracy to transmit a computer virus to everyone that signs up. Not that I'm paranoid or anything.

Tried to order them and the stupid thing keeps telling me to add a valid phone number. I did (against my better judgement), and it keeps telling me to do it. I guess I have been invalidated... <sigh>

Yeah. You will begin receiving random phone calls now. I finally got rid of all the different folks calling.

To bad anyway. I like the smoke tinted glasses. We always only had either black outs or clear. I was looking forward to trying the smoke tint.

I got mine last week, and I am actually pretty happy with them. Seem to be of decent quality, lightweight, good ocular clarity, so far so good. They sit differently than my other everyday glasses and took a few days to get used to, but overall, I give them about an 8/10. Wish I could have gotten amber ones. I use amber almost daily.

Honeywell called me today to make sure I really wanted the glasses. They're shipping them out and plan on calling me in a few weeks to see how I like them.

Mine never showed up, so if they show up now, at least my Dad will get a shiny new pair of safety glasses.
