The Ins and Outs of the Safety Glasses Order Processing

The Bridge Safety Vision system is structured to handle every aspect of your safety glasses program, from your initial invoicing to your employees’ ultimate glasses purchase. In just one minute, you can specify your product requirements and assign funds to an employee. Bridge Safety Vision will send your staff a digital payment card so that they can handle their purchases independently. Once you've placed your order, you don't need to pour your resources into needless administrative tasks—just lean back and let the Bridge team take care of the details.

​The online process you complete will record key information about your employees, and expenditures so it will become a crucial dataset in the coming years. The system is designed to be hands-free, so once you've processed the necessary information, your team will have the records and resources they need to complete the process.

Create a Bridge Purchasing Account

Our team is always available to assist in getting your account setup. We can be reached through our website, by phone, or over email. From here we are happy to walk you through a demo of how our program works! You can also go ahead and get started by using the resources on the site. All you have to do is select the “Sign Up” button on the homepage to begin ordering. Our one-minute ordering process makes it easy to get started. You can see just how easy it can be on our video tour page. Once you get signed up you will fill out some details about our company then be taken to your first order.

Starting an Order and Product details

You'll start your Bridge Safety Vision journey on the Dashboard page, which gives you a bird's eye view of your completed orders. Every time you process a new order, we'll put your receipts right here, at your fingertips, in case you need to refer back to old orders. When you choose the select “New Order” you begin by specifying the product you are wanting to give your employees access to.
​
The product details screen comes next. Here, you'll fill out the expiration and starting date of your order. It also lets you choose a dollar limit for every purchase so that you do not have to worry about overspending. Once that period has expired, your remaining card balance will be added back to your Bridge account and your card(s) will be deactivated. The default selection provides a one-year deadline, but you can adjust it to suit your requirements.

​This page also includes a section to add generic or specific redemption instructions. OSHA and ANSI are the cornerstones of any safety glasses program, and no business can afford to function without them. The "Redemption Requirements" dropdown list lets you specify the kind of frames and lenses you'd like to cover so that your staff know exactly what they're expected to buy. It includes details like ANSI ratings and permanent or removable side shields. You can use your PPE hazard assessment as a guideline for selecting the right frames and lenses for your work environment.

Adding Your Employees

Bridge Vision understands the value of staff records, so the entire process includes solid record keeping and organized processing. PPE management is no easy task. It requires you to create an effective plan that includes every staff member and OSHA requirements you need to consider. Your program must systematically cover a hierarchy of controls for every work role in your business. This proactive approach prevents problems before they begin, so the "Add Employee" section will form the backbone of your PPE system.
​
The "New Employee" tab lets you fill out your employee's full name, member ID, contact information, and address. It also includes an email address so that Bridge Vision can send a digital payment card to your team. This section lets you search for any staff members you've ordered for in the past, so it will become a valuable database that you can refer back to at any stage. Your HR team will thank you for creating this list, and so will your bookkeepers! Once you click into the next screen, you can complete your order. Just click the checkout box and proceed to billing.

Checking Out

​Bridge offers several billing methods, including invoicing, direct deposit, check, echeck, ACH, or credit card. The next screen lets you create a billing contact so that your primary user receives important data and paperwork via email. You can add a purchase order to this section as well as any notes for your admin team. This will be added to your receipt. When you submit your order, it will trigger a screen where you can save and email a receipt to your bookkeeper or administrative staff. Alternatively, you can save your receipt from the site itself.

Buying Safety Glasses

After you've filled out your order, we'll send a digital payment card to the email address you entered so that you can focus on more important things. This card will tell them how much they can spend and requirements needed for the glasses they will buy at a participating Walmart Vision Center near them. The barcode can also be used to pay via their smartphone, so there's no need for you to get tangled up in red tape.
​
Your staff can access their redemption code by clicking on the digital payment card on their tablets or phones. The barcode can be delivered as printable PDFs as well.
