Lightweight Economy Safety Glasses for Facility and MRO Use
3M Virtua AP gray safety glasses provide an economical option for outdoor maintenance, construction and facility work in bright conditions. Model 11815-00000-20 combines a gray polycarbonate lens with a scratch-resistant hard coat, wraparound coverage and integrated side shields. Contoured temples help the eyewear sit close to the face.
The gray lens reduces visible brightness for sunlit work areas. It should not be treated as a clear lens for dim warehouse aisles or indoor inspection. ASA SKU S7000030050 corresponds to 3M ID 7000030050. The minimum purchase is 12 units.

Choosing Gray Lens Safety Glasses
Match the tint to the lighting where employees work. A gray lens can reduce brightness outdoors, but it also reduces the light available to see steps, controls and other hazards. Workers moving into shaded or poorly lit spaces may need a different lens.
This model has a hard coat, not an anti-fog coating. Keep the complete part number on purchasing records when restocking crew supplies. Virtua AP includes other lens treatments, and similar names do not establish equivalent performance.
Fit, Inspection and Replacement
Try the eyewear on representative wearers before standardizing it across a crew. Check side coverage and stability with required hard hats, hearing protection and other PPE. A contoured temple design does not guarantee a suitable fit for every face.
Inspect the lenses and frame before use. Follow supplied cleaning instructions, protect the lenses during storage and replace damaged glasses or lenses with scratches that obstruct vision. Hard coating improves scratch resistance without making the lens scratch-proof.
Standards and Workplace Selection
3M lists this model as meeting the impact-rated protector requirement of ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2020. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 requires protection appropriate to workplace hazards, including side protection for flying-object hazards.
For industrial and occupational use. These glasses are not sealed chemical-splash goggles or welding filter lenses. Gray tint and UV absorption do not establish welding or laser protection.
