Why Safety Shoes are important in the Workplace?
When thinking about shoes for industrial and construction worksites, the first thing that comes to mind are heavy-duty footwear such as steel toe boots and Goodyear Welted constructed boots. These boots have been designed to protect the feet from hazards and are essential personal protective equipment (PPE) in these workplaces.
There are a few factors to keep in mind when selecting a shoe that helps make the workplace safer. Aside from being durable, safety shoes can also provide additional traction, arch support, heat resistance, slip resistance, shock absorption and water resistance. In order to find the correct foot protection for the workplace, a hazard assessment should be performed to identify the types of risks posed by the particular workplace.
Aspida should never discount the importance of safety shoes in a workplace. It is as important as having protective eyewear or gloves, and here are some of the reasons why.
In an environment where workers carry heavy materials or operate heavy machineries and/or vehicles, protective safety shoes with steel toe boots can prevent injuries to the feet caused by falling/flying heavy objects. A good pair of steel toe boots can free your employee from injury and save your company precious dollars for treatment of any major injuries.
