Bollé Safety prescription safety glasses

Safety glasses present a challenge for anyone requiring prescription correction.

It is important to understand that ordinary eyewear such as fashion frames and sunglasses do not provide adequate protection against injury and work-related hazards.

The best way to keep eyes protected is to wear vision correction and choose prescription safety eyewear.

BAXTER RX is a sealed model that offers total comfort thanks to it being a wrap-around frame.

With its waterproof foam and ingenious system for attaching the strap, BAXTER RX offers effective protection from sprays of solids, liquids and from dust.

Available with Trivex and Polycarbonate prescription lenses, this model comes fully assembled with gasket and strap and is certified to Medium impact standards.

BAXTER RX is ideal for humid and dusty environments and is also available in plano if vision correction is not required.

Bollé Safety prescription safety glasses are available through its Excellence program.

Lifline Easyhire works with Queensland Rail

Lifline Easyhire has recently supplied Queensland Rail with a BTS Electric Hydraulic Trailer to solve a working at heights problem.

The BTS Electric Hydraulic Trailer was used to solve a problem of having technicians working on locomotives in remote areas without any protection from a fall.

The unit was used to access key areas across multiple types of rail equipment for repair and maintenance.

The trailer allowed for two workers to access their work areas, while always being attached to an Ikar SRL Rescue winch.

The system allows for each worker to be rescued in the event of a fall by allowing the worker on the ground to either raise or lower the worker to safety.

This system has saved Queensland Rail significant time and money in setting up alternative options and most importantly it provides a complete working at heights solution.

Rush+ Small – More than meets the eye

Safety glasses generally come in one size fits all. However, with so many different face shapes, it can be difficult to find a perfect pair.

If the safety eyewear does not fit your face correctly leaving larger gaps between a wearer’s face and the glasses, it may allow debris to enter the eye area or distort the vision which can lead to an eye injury.

Bollé Safety has recently presented a new design of Rush+ Small safety glasses specifically developed for smaller and narrower faces. This model adopts all the feature of the popular Rush+ model, just in a smaller fit. Suitable for all industries, this model combines superior protection with style.

Rush+ Small glasses come in a variety of temple colours and lens options. With clear, smoke and CSP lenses, Rush+ Small effectively meets all company needs for eye protection at work under various lighting conditions: indoors, outdoors or with alternate exposure to bright and low light.

For advanced protection from flying particles, dust and dirt, an optional retailer strap or gasket + strap kit is available.

Metso concave carousels tested by experts

Bolle rolls out Iluka safety glasses

Bollé Safety puts the comfort of users on top of its priority. This is imminent in their new model – Iluka that was designed to offer extra protection for narrow and petite faces.

Lightweight and ultra-enveloping, Iluka guarantees comfortable and secure fit. Its thin rubber-tipped TPR temples will provide optimal support throughout the day and will easily fit under a hard hat.

Iluka resists impact with the help of anti-scratch and anti-fog coating. Adaptable with other PPE, this semi-rimless frame is likely to impress today’s fashion-oriented workers.

Silex: The new model without compromise

Bollé Safety continues to innovate, again and again, offering solutions adapted to users’ needs while preserving the optimal quality of its products.

Its 160-degree Flex technology fits every face perfectly, with flexible bi-material temples and absolute support without any pressure points.

Silex does not compromise on performance, which is evident through features including anti-scratch or anti-fog coating, panoramic vision and ultra-wraparound protection.

Its lenses have a refined design and coloured temples by Bollé Safety.

There is no compromise on affordability as Silex is suitable for everyone with an excellent price/quality ratio.

Fenner Dunlop aramid-reinforced conveyor belt

KordFlex uses a high-tensile, extremely low-stretch aramid carcass, which has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all the conveyor belt reinforcements used. It has a 10:1 safety factor, more than twice that of synthetic fibres like polyester and nylon, and five times that of steel.

The carcass is especially useful in weight sensitive, high abrasion, high tension applications. Kordflex, when used in place of existing steel cord belting, can result in a 70 per cent carcass weight reduction.

The transition from a steel cord belt to a KordFlex belt also offers economic benefits by having greater ‘available cover’ life. This is due to the fact that the covers can be worn down much closer to the carcass without significantly compromising its impact, tear or tensile strength, providing a minimum additional two millimetres of usable cover.

NESS+ ultra wrap-around frames for panoramic vision

The new Ness+ model has been designed to offer wearers an excellent field of vision, thanks to its all-round coverage.

Thin linear temples can be easily slipped under a hard hat and worn comfortably with hearing protection. Ness+, with its lightweight temples and wrap-around design, provides effective protection without compromising safety.

Ness+ offers wearers additional comfort with its co-injected temples and even more performance, thanks to its platinum coating (double sided anti-scratch or anti-fog).

As Bolle’s vision has no limits, Ness+ can be customised to company colours.

Duram Kimax Mask

Mining plays host to a number of possible respiratory hazards including cyanide, ammonia, chlorine, chemical fumes, gas leaks, fire and coal dust particles.

Polymeric chemicals, such as those used during the tailings process, are of particular concern.

The new Kimax Escape Hood is designed to quickly afford the wearer a high degree of respiratory protection. It is compact enough to fit in a pocket and can be unsheathed and worn in seconds.

Its filtering system meets Class III PPE (personal protective equipment) requirements and the mask provides immediate respiratory protection in incidents involving high concentrations of chemical agents, allowing users to evacuate quickly and individually if required.

Kimax is certified to protect against organic gases with boiling points above 65 degrees Celsius, as well as ammonia, acidic and sulphuric gases. The mask also comes with a carry pouch for storage.
