Safety shoes, also known as labor protection shoes, are functional shoes designed to protect the feet from workplace hazards.
Functions
Anti-smashing and anti-squeezing: The toe cap is embedded with metal (such as steel toe cap) or non-metal (such as composite material) toe cap, which can withstand heavy objects and collisions to avoid toe injuries.
Anti-slip and wear-resistant: The sole is made of rubber, polyurethane and other materials to enhance the grip on slippery and oily ground, reduce the risk of slipping, and the wear-resistant material extends the service life.
Anti-puncture: The special material sole and the puncture-resistant midsole of some shoes can resist sharp objects such as nails and wires to protect the safety of the soles.
Insulation and corrosion resistance: Insulation safety shoes are used in the power industry to isolate current, and acid-alkali resistant safety shoes are used in chemical environments to protect against chemical corrosion.
Comfortable decompression: The internal sweat-absorbing and breathable insole and soft lining relieve foot fatigue and provide comfort for long-term wear.
Scope of application
Construction: To deal with falling objects from high altitudes and sharp debris on the ground, anti-smashing and anti-puncture protection for workers' feet.
Mechanical manufacturing: resist equipment extrusion and collision, and prevent metal debris from injuring the operator's feet.
Electric power industry: Electricians wear insulated safety shoes to prevent electric shock accidents.
Chemical industry: Acid and alkali resistant safety shoes protect the feet from corrosive chemicals.
Mining: Miners face risks such as falling rocks and sharp ores, and safety shoes provide anti-smashing and anti-puncture protection.
Logistics and warehousing: Prevent smashing when carrying heavy objects, and prevent slipping when walking on the warehouse floor to ensure work safety.
Transportation: For example, for car repair personnel, safety shoes can resist falling tools and prevent slipping on oily floors.
Standards and specifications: Countries formulate standards to ensure quality, such as China GB 21148 - 2020, EU EN 20345, and US ASTM F2413, to guide production and purchase.
Development trend
Intelligent technology: Built-in sensors monitor foot pressure and movement status, and feedback hidden danger information.
New materials: Use environmentally friendly high-performance materials such as bio-based polyurethane and degradable rubber to balance protection and health and environmental protection.
