In mining, resources and construction industries across Australia, workers’ eyes are exposed to a range of hazards, including particulates, gas, dust and chemical splash. The need for safety eyewear is obvious, yet too often, safety goggles are uncomfortable to wear, fog up or easily scratch.

Then it’s hard to identify site hazards - anything from exposed nails and corrosive materials to trip hazards and faulty scaffolding. Without clear vision, safety can suffer. Mistakes can be made, and accidents are potentially more likely to happen. This is not only risky for workers, it’s a real challenge for employer PPE compliance.

Bollé Safety goggles deliver

Bollé Safety offers a range of goggles that level up comfort and safety:

• The Globe entry level range offers a wide field of vision, with translucent frames for greater perception and lower glare.
• The versatile Spectrum range has goggles specifically designed to fit smaller faces. Comes in a range of lens coatings and frame types, with a soft gasket seal for comfort.
• The premium Universal range offers Wave technology for optimal fit on the face, a range of tints and an optional pivoting face shield for extra protection. The Universal goggle won the Product Design Award at the 2024 Red Dot Design Awards.

Comfort, clarity and coding for optimum protection

Workers need baseline impact protection from flying debris, dust, particulates, liquids and chemical splash. Improved comfort, clear vision and fast-ID colour codes also facilitate greater workplace safety.

Comfort: The Wave accordion-like seal improves nose and face comfort. Workers are less tempted to remove goggles, can wear them for longer, and enjoy a closer, more secure seal.

Clarity: The advanced PLATINUM coating gives crystal-clear vision, with anti-scratch, anti-fog coating on both sides of the lens. This facilitates safer, more focused work, helping to reduce error and accident risk.

Coding: Colour-coded straps offer fast model ID for compliance at a glance. Yellow (vented) for greater airflow, green (sealed) for work with gas/certain liquids and grey (neoprene braid) to resist solvents/acids and black (tough) for welders handling class 2 to 5 gases.

Where are Bollé Safety goggles hard at work?

• Underground mines: Protect against dust, particulates and liquid spray when drilling or doing overhead work. The anti-fog is perfect for humid environments.

• Manufacturing: Protect workers exposed to particulates from grinding and welding.
