Current Ansell documentation identifies the Maverick product family as manufactured to comply with ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2020, rated Z87+ for high-velocity impact, and certified to CSA Z94.3-20. These classifications apply to occupational spectacle-style eye protection and should be interpreted together with the product markings, current manufacturer literature, and the employer’s hazard assessment.

Earlier distributor or legacy product records may use the shorter ANSI Z87.1+ wording. Current catalog content should use ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2020 as the principal U.S. standard reference while preserving historical wording only where needed for older purchasing records or lot-specific documentation.

The Z87+ designation addresses high-impact performance under the applicable spectacle requirements. It does not mean the glasses provide complete enclosure or protection against every eye and face hazard.

• High-impact certification does not make the eyewear chemical-splash goggles
• Integrated side shields do not make the glasses dust-tight or gas-tight
• The partial brow guard does not create a sealed upper barrier
• A compatible face shield may be required in addition to primary eye protection
• Welding, cutting, brazing, and laser work require specialized optical filters
• Fine dust, aerosols, liquid splash, or multidirectional hazards may require goggles
• Damaged eyewear must be removed from service regardless of its original certification

Lens fogging occurs when warm, moisture-containing air contacts a cooler lens surface and condenses into microscopic droplets. These droplets scatter light and may obscure tools, workpieces, labels, process indicators, walking surfaces, or equipment controls.

The Maverick 49301 uses KleenVision™ premium anti-fog technology. Ansell states that the coating is engineered to deliver anti-fog performance 100 times greater than the ANSI Z87.1-2020 “X” mark requirement and that it exceeds the EN 166 “N” mark test for resistance to fogging.

• Helps maintain visibility in humid work areas
• Supports clearer vision during temperature transitions
• Helps reduce fogging associated with masks, respirators, hoods, and face coverings
• Can reduce repeated eyewear removal, wiping, and adjustment
• Helps limit interruptions caused by condensation
• Supports more consistent eye-protection use
• May reduce face-touch behavior caused by obscured vision

Anti-fog treatment reduces the likelihood, severity, or duration of fogging but does not guarantee completely fog-free vision under every condition. Performance can be affected by humidity, temperature difference, physical exertion, respirator exhaust, airflow, contamination, cleaning technique, coating wear, and chemical exposure.

• Check mask and respirator fit when warm air is directed toward the lens
• Evaluate hood placement and airflow when recurring fogging occurs
• Do not aggressively polish or scrub the coated surface
• Do not apply unapproved household anti-fog treatments
• Avoid chemicals that may degrade the anti-fog coating
• Replace the glasses when fog resistance becomes visibly uneven or ineffective

Ansell specifically identifies code 49301 as passing the EN 166 “K” mark test for resistance to surface damage by fine particles. This is more precise than a general statement that the product has a scratch-resistant coating because the manufacturer associates this SKU with a defined European surface-damage test.

The EN 166 “K” performance supports improved durability where fine airborne debris or routine industrial handling could degrade lens clarity. It does not make the lens scratch-proof.

• Remove grit and loose particles before wiping
• Do not dry wipe when metal dust or abrasive debris is present
• Avoid rough paper towels, shop rags, and abrasive tissues
• Do not store the lens against tools, fasteners, or unfinished surfaces
• Replace the eyewear when scratches interfere with vision or inspection accuracy
• Do not interpret the “K” performance as resistance to all chemical or mechanical damage

The 49301 lens combines several protective functions in one clear polycarbonate structure. Each characteristic addresses a different operational requirement.

The clear lens is intended primarily for normally illuminated indoor work where natural color recognition, label reading, inspection accuracy, and clear task visibility are important. It does not provide sunglass-style brightness reduction or directional glare filtration.

• Supports natural color recognition
• Suitable for indoor manufacturing and assembly
• Supports laboratory-support, inspection, and quality-control tasks
• Helps maintain visibility in warehouses and facility areas
• Appropriate where a tinted lens could reduce available task illumination
• Provides UV filtration without a dark tint
• May be unsuitable for intense exterior brightness without further evaluation

The Maverick frame incorporates an integrated partial brow guard above the lens. Ansell describes this feature as providing a sense of protection from falling dusts and reducing glare entering from above.

The brow component increases upper-frame coverage compared with a completely frameless design, but it does not create a sealed barrier against fine particles, aerosols, or liquids.

• Adds coverage along the upper lens area
• Helps reduce direct entry of nuisance dust from above
• Helps limit some overhead light entering above the lens
• Provides a more substantial upper profile than frameless safety glasses
• Must be evaluated for compatibility with hard hats and face shields
• Should not be represented as sealed brow protection

Clear side shields are integrated into the frame to extend coverage toward the lateral areas of the eyes while preserving peripheral visibility. Because the side protection is built into the frame, there are no separate removable shield components to lose, omit, or install incorrectly.

The Maverick design includes padded nose contact and soft-touch temple points intended to reduce pressure, improve grip, and help prevent slippage during extended use.

• Padded nose contact helps distribute pressure
• Soft-touch temple areas help reduce side pressure
• Thermoplastic-rubber contact points support grip and retention
• Stable positioning can reduce repeated face and eyewear touching
• Orange contact points provide quick visual identification of this configuration
• Comfort-focused design may support all-shift wear compliance

Current Ansell product details identify polycarbonate, thermoplastic rubber, and stainless-steel screw components in the Maverick construction.

Safety eyewear is effective only when it remains properly worn. Glasses that fog, pinch, slide, obstruct vision, or create uncomfortable pressure are more likely to be removed or incorrectly positioned.

1. Place the glasses on the wearer without excessively spreading the temple arms.
2. Confirm that the padded nose contact sits securely without painful pressure.
3. Verify that the clear lens is centered in front of both eyes.
4. Inspect the lateral coverage provided by the integrated side shields.
5. Confirm that the partial brow guard does not obstruct required upward vision.
6. Ask the wearer to look upward, downward, and from side to side.
7. Ask the wearer to bend, turn, walk, and perform representative work movements.
8. Verify that the glasses remain secure without repeated adjustment.
9. Repeat the assessment with all required head, hearing, respiratory, and face protection.

• Automotive assembly, repair, and maintenance
• Manufacturing and production operations
• Assembly, inspection, checking, and quality control
• Construction and general site work
• Facility and equipment maintenance
• Warehousing, shipping, receiving, and material handling
• Oil, gas, petrochemical, and energy operations
• Laboratory-support and technical work
• Humid or temperature-variable work areas
• Tasks requiring masks, respirators, hoods, or protective headgear
• Indoor work requiring clear lenses and natural color recognition
• General occupational eye-protection programs

The Maverick glasses must be evaluated with the complete PPE ensemble. Hard hats, masks, respirators, earmuffs, hoods, face shields, and protective garments can alter frame position, redirect airflow, create pressure points, or reduce coverage.

• Confirm that hard-hat suspension components do not contact the partial brow guard
• Ensure temples do not interfere with tight-fitting respirator sealing surfaces
• Check whether mask or respirator airflow is directed toward the lens
• Verify that earmuff cushions remain fully seated around the ears
• Confirm that face-shield brackets do not displace the glasses
• Check compatibility with hoods, bouffants, and head coverings
• Verify secure positioning during representative work movement
• Do not force the glasses over prescription eyewear unless specifically evaluated

The employer should identify the source, direction, frequency, duration, and severity of each eye hazard before selecting protection. Spectacle-style eyewear may be appropriate for general impact and particle exposure but may not provide sufficient enclosure for liquid splash, fine dust, aerosols, or multidirectional hazards.

Industrial eye-protection certification and cleanroom suitability are separate determinations. ANSI/ISEA and CSA compliance do not establish sterility, ISO cleanroom classification, low particle release, low outgassing, disinfectant compatibility, or suitability for aseptic processing.

The anti-fog treatment and stable comfort contact points may help reduce eyewear removal and face-touch adjustment in controlled work areas. However, the partial brow guard, side shields, hinges, screws, padded components, and frame interfaces should be evaluated under the facility’s material-control and cleaning program.

• Evaluate the glasses under the facility’s contamination-control strategy before use
• Assign eyewear by employee or controlled area when practical
• Stage cleaned eyewear on the designated clean side of the gowning process
• Handle the glasses by the temples rather than the lens
• Complete fit adjustments before entering the critical work zone
• Do not place eyewear directly on benches, carts, gowning seats, or critical surfaces
• Do not transfer eyewear between uncontrolled and controlled areas without approved cleaning
• Use only facility-approved cleaning agents and compatible low-lint wipes
• Inspect around side shields, brow components, hinges, and comfort pads for retained residue
• Replace the glasses when they no longer meet facility visibility or cleanliness criteria

1. Inspect the eyewear before beginning the gowning sequence.
2. Clean or disinfect the glasses according to the approved facility procedure.
3. Inspect the side-shield, brow, hinge, nose, and temple interfaces for retained residue.
4. Stage the eyewear in the designated clean-side location.
5. Handle the glasses only by approved contact points such as the temples.
6. Don the eyewear at the step specified by the gowning SOP.
7. Complete fit positioning before final glove donning when permitted.
8. Confirm compatibility with the mask, respirator, hood, bouffant, and face shield.
9. Avoid touching or readjusting the glasses inside the critical work area.
10. Follow the defined deviation procedure if the eyewear is dropped, displaced, contaminated, or heavily fogged.

1. Wash and dry hands or don clean gloves as required by the work area.
2. Inspect the lens for loose dust, grit, metal particles, dried residue, or abrasive contamination.
3. Remove loose particles with clean air or a gentle water rinse when permitted.
4. Apply an approved optical cleaner, mild soap and water, or another validated cleaning solution.
5. Wipe gently using a soft optical tissue, microfiber cloth, or approved cleanroom wiper.
6. Clean the side shields, brow guard, nose pads, temples, and hinge areas without forcing debris into joints.
7. Avoid aggressive pressure or repeated polishing of the anti-fog surface.
8. Rinse where required to remove cleaner residue.
9. Dry using a clean, soft, non-abrasive material.
10. Inspect the lens, coatings, side shields, brow guard, nose pads, temples, screws, and safety markings before reuse.

Inspect the eyewear before each use and after any impact, chemical contact, abnormal heat exposure, or cleaning process that could affect protection or optical performance. Remove the glasses from service when any condition could reduce fit, clarity, impact performance, coating function, or structural integrity.

Store the glasses in a cool, clean, and dry location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, abrasive materials, heavy objects, and chemical vapors. The coated lens, integrated side shields, brow guard, and comfort components should be protected from unnecessary contact and deformation.

• Use an individual case, sleeve, or designated storage compartment
• Do not store with sharp tools, fasteners, metal parts, or abrasive materials
• Do not place heavy objects on the lens, side shields, brow guard, or temples
• Avoid prolonged storage in hot vehicles or near process heat
• Keep away from solvent, adhesive, fuel, and cleaning-chemical vapors
• Store cleaned eyewear separately from contaminated PPE
• Do not allow the coated lens to rest directly against rough surfaces
• Do not force or flatten the frame during storage

Ansell lists the Maverick product family as eligible for the RightCycle™ Program. Actual eligibility, contamination restrictions, collection methods, geographic availability, minimum quantities, and accepted product conditions should be confirmed with the current program before the glasses are placed into a recycling stream.
