Eyesafe is a cost-effective program that is easy to manage and delivers the highest standards of eye safety in the work place. Due to a lack of awareness of safety eyewear programs, it is our goal to be the number one source for companies who want prescription safety glasses. With expertise from participating clinics, we provide an exceptional program to employers and their employees.
Eyesafe and BCDO
For more than 20 years, BCDO has successfully managed an occupational vision care program and continues to demonstrate strict commitment to safety standards and services for clients. Eyesafe assists over 350 companies across B.C. As a member of the BCDO, you’re one click away from better safety practices and a program that delivers true value.
The BC Optimum Program
Eyesafe already looks after the safety needs of over 400 companies here in BC providing an affordable prescription safety eyewear program for their employees.
Unfortunately, not everyone is covered under a company safety eyewear program, people may be self-employed, contractors or just want a pair for activities around the home.
The BC Optimum Program gives you confidence in helping you to adhere to or exceed CSA safety standards and fills the void of people not having access to compliant prescription safety eyewear that fits correctly.
