Your employees’ feet deserve protective footwear.
It is estimated that a person walks around the world four times during their lifetime. Their feet support the entire body and have to work very hard every day. That is why it is so important to protect your feet at all times – and especially during work – with suitable footwear. Modern safety shoes protect without straining. An optimal fit, combined with a high level of WEARING COMFORT, ensures that general well-being increases, the entire musculoskeletal system is relieved and chronic damage to the body is prevented.
Safety shoes are now standard in almost all sectors of the production or service industry.
Whether for engineers, factory workers or logistics employees, no personal protective equipment (PPE) is as widely accepted as foot protection. With the right products, occupational accidents can be prevented and safety in the workplace is increased. Optimal foot protection prevents injuries from the following hazards:
Mechanical: falling objects, bruises, penetration
Thermal: molten metal splashes, heat, weather, cold
Electrical: contact with live equipment, sparks in hazardous areas due to electrostatic charging.
Chemical: acids, alkalis, oils, greases, fuels
Walking accidents: sprains, slipping, tripping
Long-term damage: back and knee complaints
Work shoes versus safety shoes
In principle, foot protection can be divided into two categories: work shoes and safety shoes. The difference lies in the safety toe, which used to be mainly made of steel, but is now also made of aluminum or high-quality composite materials. Safety shoes have a safety toe, work shoes do not. The latter are therefore mainly used in the medical sector, in gastronomy, by the police or the army.
