Your prescription glasses are not safety glasses. Safety eyewear has to meet the AS/NZS 1337 standard, that means impact rated, tested, and built for the job. Your everyday glasses aren't rated, aren't impact resistant, and won't protect you from flying debris, dust, or chemical splash. If your site requires eye protection, you need proper safety-rated eyewear, either prescription safety glasses built to that standard or over-specs that fit over your regular ones. Your reading glasses from Specsavers don't count.
