Construction workers know they should wear the right eyewear to protect their eyes from hazards. So, why don’t they?
It often comes down to workers finding safety glasses don’t suit their face shape, fog up and feel uncomfortable to wear throughout long shifts. They know safety is important, but they don’t want to compromise on style either. When PPE eyewear doesn’t work for them, workers are tempted to ditch it. There goes compliance!
Bollé Safety has a range of PPE eyewear, and offers a Decision Guide to provide guidance on the most suitable options for different tasks and site conditions.
With high-tech lens coatings, comfortable, stylish frames in different colours and lens tints to suit indoor, outdoor and changing light, all Bollé Safety eyewear is AS/NZS Certified. There are even options for workers who need prescription safety glasses. These are safety glasses designed to be comfortable to wear, day in and day out!
Popular with younger workers looking for safety and style, the STKS range comes with Bollé Safety’s PLATINUM anti-fog and anti-scratch double-sided lens protection. STKS lenses are available in clear, smoke with PLATINUM, and polarised and cobalt blue flash tints. Clear lenses are ideal for stable lighting indoors, smoke are great outdoors and the polarised lenses help cut glare reflecting off hard metal or concrete surfaces. STKS also feature clear side shields that offer protection, without impacting peripheral vision.
STKS work just as well for a trip to the pub as on site, and are ideal for carpenters, plumbers, general trades, road crews and any construction worker looking for eye-catching protection.
The RUSH+2.0 XP offers advanced eye protection for harsh conditions. It features a sealed wraparound design, replaceable foam gasket and adjustable strap for comfort and protection. The RUSH+2.0 XP comes in two sizes to suit different face shapes. The flexible frames offer a close, comfortable fit and the PLATINUM coating helps prevent fogging in hot and humid conditions. The RUSH+2.0 XP is available in clear lens tints for indoor work, smoke for outdoors and copper and bronze tints which are ideal for changing light conditions.
The RUSH+2.0 XP is a good choice for general trades at the pointy end of construction – those carrying out sawing and grinding jobs, and tasks that require protection from dust, smoke, flying debris and splashing liquid.
The SWIFT range offers comfort and durability at a cost-effective price. They offer a flexible fit and a double-sided PLATINUM Lite anti-fog/anti-scratch coating. The wraparound frame helps keeps dust and debris out. The SWIFT comes in clear, smoke and copper lens tints. The SWIFT OTG (over-the-glasses) model ensures protection is available for all workers.
Cost effective and good quality, the SWIFT is a great option for workers who use a lot of PPE eyewear.
Using Bollé Safety’s SEAMLESS VISION platform, workers who wear prescriptions can also get custom safety glasses made to suit their individual needs. On the platform, they can try on virtual frames, choose lens tints then upload their prescription in one easy process.
The SEAMLESS range is designed for workers who find OTG safety glasses too bulky.
