Why Most Safety Glasses Programs Fall Short—and How Bridgemart Fixes That

Eye protection should be simple and effective—but many safety glasses programs complicate the process, inflate costs, and leave workers with poor-fitting gear they don’t want to wear. As a safety manager, you’re expected to prevent injuries and control spend—but traditional eyewear programs often make that harder, not easier.
