Whether you’re cutting timber, operating heavy machinery, or working in open-cut mines under the glare of the midday sun, your eyes are constantly exposed to hazards. Dust clouds, flying debris, sparks, UV rays, and glare are just some of the daily challenges faced on-site.

That’s why having the right safety eyewear for your industry isn’t just a PPE check box. It’s an essential part of doing the job well and going home safely at the end of the day. 

At Mack Workwear, our safety eyewear range is built for specific conditions and challenges, ensuring you have clear, comfortable vision no matter where you work. Here’s how our top-performing models line up for trades, construction, and mining.

1. Fender Safety Glasses: Best for Dusty Environments

In dusty, particle-heavy conditions such as rural construction sites, agricultural work, carpentry, or open-cut mining, standard safety glasses often fall short. Dust can cling to lenses, scratch the surface, or combine with heat to fog up your vision. That’s where the Mack Fender Safety Glasses excel.

Why they work:

●       Advanced anti-fog coating prevents lens misting caused by body heat, temperature changes, or humid conditions. These are perfect for moving between indoor and outdoor areas or working in hot, dusty sheds.

●       Durable anti-scratch coating helps the lenses withstand constant exposure to fine particles, reducing wear and tear over time.

●       UV protection shield eyes from 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, making them safe for long days under the sun.

●       Full-frame wraparound design offers a secure fit and maximises protection from airborne debris coming from multiple angles.

Best for: Construction workers on unsealed sites, farmers handling harvest dust, mechanics in dusty workshops, and mining crews working in open-air pits.

2. Longhaul Safety Glasses: Best for Extended Wear

If you’re on the tools for a full 8-12 hour shift, the wrong pair of safety glasses can become uncomfortable fast by digging into the sides of your head, slipping down your nose, or causing pressure points. The Mack Longhaul Safety Glasses are designed specifically for comfort over long durations, without sacrificing durability or performance.

Why they work:

●       Soft temple tips and adjustable nose pads allow a customised, pressure-free fit that reduces discomfort during long shifts.

●       Anti-fog coating ensures lenses stay clear even during physically demanding work where heat and sweat can cause condensation.

●       Anti-scratch protection keeps your vision sharp, even in gritty, high-traffic environments where eyewear is constantly exposed to contact.

●       Impact-resistent polycarbonate lenses provide robust protection against flying particles, sparks, or small fragments.

●       Wraparound lens coverage enhances peripheral vision while still offering complete side protection.

Best for: Underground and surface mining crews, manufacturing plant workers, metal fabrication teams, and heavy construction trades who wear safety eyewear for their entire shift.

3. Monterey Safety Glasses: Best for Glare-Heavy Outdoor Tasks

Working outdoors often means battling the elements, and nothing impacts your vision like bright sunlight and reflective glare. Whether you’re on a construction site, or managing roadworks, glare can not only slow you down, but also increase the risk of accidents. The Mack Monterey Safety Glasses are built to eliminate glare and keep your vision clear in demanding environments all while delivering the comfort you need for all-day wear.

Why they work:

●       Polarised green lenses completely eliminates glare from reflective surfaces such as water, glass, concrete, and metal, improving contrast and general vision.

●       UV400 protection blocks 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, guarding against long-term sun damage and reducing eye fatigue during extended outdoor shifts.

●       Anti-scratch coating keeps the lenses clearer for longer, resisting the daily wear and tear of worksites.

●       Polycarbonate wraparound frame that delivers a snug, close fit to the face for maximum protection against wind, dust, and debris.

Best for: mining, transportation, construction, maritime, and leisure environments.
