OSHA (29 CFR 1910.133) requires employers to provide eye protection suited to the hazard, and requires that employees who wear prescription lenses get eye protection that incorporates the prescription or fits over it.

Why municipal and public works crews use a managed program
Prescription and non-prescription eyewear, fitted to your people and the work they do.
CHAOSRXOptics (chaosrxoptics.com) is part of CHAOS Supplies in Phoenix, Arizona and runs managed safety eyewear programs for cities, counties, special districts, and public works departments. The program covers both prescription and non-prescription ANSI Z87.1+ eyewear and is built for public employers who have to cover several departments with different hazards under one safety policy.
A single public works department spans streets and paving, water and wastewater, parks and grounds, sanitation, and fleet maintenance, and each one carries a different eye hazard: impact and flying chips, chemical splash, blown debris, and welding in the shop.
One approved frame list can span impact, splash, and UV needs across those departments, so the safety coordinator manages one program instead of five vendor relationships.
Field crews work from trucks and yards rather than desks, and ordering that runs on a phone reaches them where the work is.
Prescription accommodation is a written obligation in most public employer safety policies, and a program that cuts safety-rated lenses to the employee prescription documents that the obligation was met.
A managed program
How the program works
One company page, an approved frame list, prescription handling, and fulfillment for the places your crews actually work.
-
01
Each company gets a private ordering page with an approved list of ANSI Z87.1+ rated frames.
-
02
Employees order directly. Prescription orders are handled end to end: the employee submits their prescription with the order and our lab cuts the safety-rated lenses, with side shields where required.
-
03
The employer chooses how it pays: one monthly invoice to the company, with Net terms available, or payment at checkout as each order is placed. The employer also sets the contribution level.
-
04
Orders ship to the employee's home or to an office, a shop, or a job site, whichever the employer chooses. Order status is available by text message.
-
05
When an employee becomes eligible for a new pair, the program notifies them automatically.
-
06
Purchase-as-needed. No upfront inventory and no minimum commitment to start.
-
07
For work sites within driving distance of Phoenix, Arizona, we run on-site Sit and Fit events. For other locations we run live virtual fit sessions, and virtual try-on is available on the ordering page from any phone.
