Why are safety work boots so important?
Well, for a start, a quarter of all accidents in the workplace involve your feet. Quite a staggering statistic. But when you include sprains, punctures, crushing and breaks, you can understand why that is.
Safety Shoes comply with the standard UNI EN ISO 20345 which means foot wear equipped with toe caps, which protects the wearer from impacts and crashing, with resistance to energies up to 200J and to pressure loads of at least 15kN.
So, where to start?
What you require is very personal to the wearer. First, think in what environment will you be using the boots. Wet, cold, hot, slippery or hazardous, all are relevant to what you choose. Check the description for the boot properties. This will tell you the sole material and what it’s resistant to. It will also advise on the protection features and if it complies to any industry standards.
But this is all irrelevant if the boot is uncomfortable. Time and care should be spent making sure they fit. Keeping your feet as relaxed as possible during a long working day. There are lots of different styles of safety shoe on the market, from clogs to fleece lined calf high boots. You’re the only one that can gauge which is right for you.
