02 April 2019In 2018, 12 Master Builders
Apprentices had an eye injury due to dust.
The majority of these injuries
lead to the apprentice visiting the hospital emergency for treatment and end up
having a day off work.
In an effort to prevent future eye
injuries, Master Buillders Apprenticeship Services have trialled a new

What is so good about them?

- Certified to Australian Standard 1337:1:2020 (Medium impact protection)
12 Apprentices and 12 Training
Employers putting them to the test & the feedback was:
✓ They are comfortable to wear
✓ Minimal fog up during use
✓ Resistant to scratches
✓ Provided better overall protection than the previous glasses issued by the MBA
Due to the positive feedback on
site the Prosafe Snipe safety glasses will begin to be issued to all Master Builders Apprentices from March
2019.
Field officers will have stock of
the glasses for distribution to apprentices during site visits.
