Your workers’ eyes are precious. Yet on worksites across Australia, they are exposed to a wide range of hazards every day.
Safety glasses are essential, but some can be too uncomfortable to wear for long stretches. So, miners, manufacturing and construction workers put up with extreme discomfort (bad for morale), carry on without them (a health hazard), or take frequent breaks (bad for productivity).
That’s just the start. The lenses get scratched, fog up in the heat and block side vision.
Oh, and workers can’t wear them with prescription glasses. That’s a problem when making a precision cut or taking a critical decision with no margin for error.
Problem solved!
The Bollé Safety Universal Goggle is the solution for workers in the heaviest, most demanding industries.
Using ground-breaking Wave technology, it moulds itself to the contours of the face for a snug, custom fit. A unique accordion design prevents gaps, evens out strap and face mask pressure, and reduces stress.
Panoramic lenses (inspired by the Bollé ski goggle) get rid of risky blind spots. A dual-sided Platinum coating reduces fog and scratch.
And your workers can pop their prescription glasses into the rubber moulding, for complete vision and confidence.
Result? They work harder and longer. They see more clearly and work safely, helping to get projects finished on time, every time.
Why is the Universal Goggle special?
Colour coded straps have different applications in construction, mining, food manufacturing, oil, gas and welding.
-Yellow for indirect ventilation. Perfect for construction sites and food manufacture. Eyes are protected from dust and fine particles, while air circulates to reduce fogging.
-Green is waterproof. Geared for underground mining. A super-seal protects against flammable gases, liquids and chemical splash.
-Cool grey is neoprene. The strap is more chemical-resistant than nylon. This effectively repels solvents and acids in the oil and gas industry.
-Grey for welding. Welding-specific lenses offer superior protection from flame, sparks and gases.
Green and yellow goggles come with or without foam padding.

According to Rimma Shabanova, Trade Marketing Manager APAC at Bollé Safety, the Universal Goggle solves the most pressing customer problems.
“For the first time, a premium safety goggle is perfectly adapted to fit any face, anywhere, with a complete seal. In many industries, normal protective glasses just aren’t enough. The Universal Goggle fills a glaring gap in the market, setting a new benchmark for safe, comfortable workplace eye protection.”
