I know there is at least one canadian o.d. on this list, but to whomever
might know, where can I find a comparison of the Canadian industrial
safety eyewear regs with the Z87 standards? I have run across a company
that wants to be sure its employees have safety eyewear that is up to
Canadian standards for its employees who will be working "up there".

thanks

Don't know the US standards but we also use the ANSI Z87 codes up here.
Polycarb at 3.0 mm thickness plus a safety frame and (usually) fixed side
shields is the usual requirement. Some employers allow removable side
shields.
