Safety frames came into existence after the creation of OSHA in the 1970s and were designed to fit the facial features of an average white male. As demographic changes occurred in the workforce; our inventory of 100 safety frames changed to accommodate the unique fitting requirements for each ethnic group. For example; we have safety frames with different side shield shapes otherwise many workers of Hispanic origin will suffer discomfort from the side shields digging into the skin on top of their cheeks. Many individuals who are from Asian countries have a smaller bridge of their nose. And we have frame styles that meet their needs for smaller sizes. The major safety frame manufacturers have noticed this change in the American workforce demographics and discontinued some forty styles of safety frames in just the past two years. You can view some of this year's new styles in our Product highlight:
The numbers don't lie .... over the past decade the demographics of the American workforce have changed quietly, yet dramatically. Since 2000 the workforce has seen these transformations:
Women now comprise almost 48% of the workforce ( a 17% increase since 1970)
White males have been reduced by 4% and men now represent only 52% of the workforce
Individuals of Hispanic origins saw an almost 50% increase in their representation of the workforce
Individuals from Asian countries increased by 25%
Approximately 20% of the workforce is now over age 55
