Specification Summary
Shelter keeps the range deliberately narrow so reorder, replacement and issue records stay clean. The standard model is the Shelter S1 frame, supplied with clear, smoke or amber safety lenses and supported by replacement lens sets.
- Frame Use
- General site, workshop, maintenance and rail-adjacent work where the marked frame and lens combination is suitable.
- Lens Options
- Clear for indoor work, smoke for outdoor glare, amber for low-light inspection.
- Prescription
- Removable prescription insert carrier behind the safety lens, glazed after prescription review.
- Lead Times
- Stock glasses dispatch within 2 working days when ordered before 12:00. Prescription inserts take 7-10 working days.
“Eye protection is not a perk. It is issued equipment, and it should be chosen with the same care as a harness or boot.”

Plan a site visitHow the work moves
Select, Confirm, Measure, Assemble.
The process starts with the frame. For most orders that means the stocked Shelter S1, because a controlled frame makes replacement lenses, inserts and repeat issue far less vague. The buyer then confirms the lens colour: clear for indoor and general work, smoke for glare and outdoor days, amber for low-light inspection tasks.
Where prescription use is needed, Shelter asks for a valid prescription less than two years old, pupillary distance, working distance and enough detail to judge whether the insert is safe for the job. The workshop does not guess at optical position just to keep an order moving.
Stock safety glasses are assembled, checked and dispatched within 2 working days when the order lands before 12:00. Prescription inserts take 7-10 working days from receipt of prescription, pupillary distance and payment approval.
Orders are placed by email rather than a cart. That keeps small contractors, joinery shops and maintenance teams from being forced through a procurement system when they simply need practical eye protection issued correctly.
