I doubt they're as good a real safety glasses, but any protection is better than none! I would think if they were real safety glasses, the package would make that clear.

Do they provide side protection? I had some dust get into an eye once from the side.

"Howard Leight HL804 Sharp-Shooter Protective Eyewear are durable and functional safety eyewear that can function equally well as standard safety glasses and as shooting glasses. "

From a review:

"Very sturdy feel. Covers all around your eyes so you don't have to worry about something entering through the sides."

The ANSI rating is for impact (shatter) rating. I speak from experience when I say that NO amount safety glasses will protect 100%, I had 12 stitches and glass in each eye after a gas tank blew when I was welding. The eye surgeon said 99% of the damage was from the safety glasses themselves.
They do look like they have more of a wrap around lens to give side protection.
