3M High Impact Faceshield WP96 for Industrial Environments – 3 Pack
The 3M WP96 clear polycarbonate faceshield is a replacement visor for industrial face-protection systems. ASA supplies this item as a 3-pack of visors; headgear is not included. Use it for assessed impact and splash hazards in construction, manufacturing, metalworking, and plant maintenance, together with compatible headgear and the required primary eye protection.
The molded clear visor lets workers view the task without a tinted filter. Its uncoated surface should not be described as anti-fog or hard-coated. Keep spare visors available so damaged face protection can be replaced before the next task.

Headgear Compatibility and Installation
WP96 uses 3M's Easy-Change attachment system with compatible headgear. Verify the exact headgear or adapter combination using 3M documentation; a 3M brand name alone does not establish compatibility. Follow the assembly instructions and confirm every attachment is secure before lowering the visor into position.
Eye and Face Protection Requirements
3M lists WP96 as meeting ANSI Z87.1 requirements, with high-impact performance documented for the model. Use the approved assembled configuration and check its markings. Wear appropriate safety glasses or goggles underneath; a face shield provides secondary protection.
OSHA 1910.133 requires eye and face protection appropriate to the hazards present. For chemical splash, select suitable goggles and verify visor compatibility with the substance. The shield does not seal against gases or vapors.
The clear WP96 is not a welding filter, and no arc-flash rating is established here. Do not infer protection from every chemical, spark, or exposure solely from the polycarbonate material.
Manufacturer Information and Inspection
Review the official 3M WP96 specifications. Inspect for cracks, deep scratches, distortion, and damaged mounting points before use. Replace compromised visors and follow 3M cleaning instructions.
