Product Information

Wear clothing that fits well. Loose clothing or accessories can get caught in a tool’s moving parts, which could result in dire consequences. DURABLE PU SOLE: Dual density PU/PU sole that is resistant to fuel oil, so it won't degrade, stain, or retain grease that would otherwise cause slips and trips This is the year the safety standard around footwear was updated. It now requires that safety footwear must now protect against a 200 Joule impact at the toes before failing First of all, many well-known brand names tend to boast about their flagship tools in television, trade magazines and online ads. They tend to make the harder jobs look extremely simple when using their specific brand. Of course, the basis of this is to help sell their product. So is this a realistic representation of what the tool can do for you, especially if you’re just starting out? The answer is no. Different skill levels and experience has a significant factor in the effectiveness of a tool, as well as other things.

Like other types of Personal Protection Equipment, safety trainers are required where a risk assessment has identified a potential hazard, which may cause accidents or injury to workers. Safety toecaps and mid-sole protection is a requirement for areas of construction and skilled trades, such as plumbers, electricians, and plasterers. While delivery drivers and couriers favour the comfort that safety trainers provide while driving. Many bargain footwear suppliers offer work boots for a fantastic price. But these are often not steel toe capped, do not have anti-fatigue soles and won’t protect your feet against liquids or extreme heat. In fact, some boots that look the part may as well be a pair of sandals if a hammer or power tool was to drop on your foot. When working at heights, never leave tools lying out in the areas where they could present a hazard to the people below.

Power tools can sell for a decent price, which has opened up the doors to cheap and fake tools coming onto the market to maximise profit. The issues we have with such tools are that they may not provide the power needed to complete the job given. Also, many of them are made with flimsy materials that could fall apart easily with the vibrations of usage. The best-case scenario is that the tool will stop working, but in the worst case, they can explode, burst into flame or shatter over the user. Finding a trustworthy brand can be a big undertaking, and when you are faced with lots of recommended companies, the search can feel daunting. Some manufactures cater to different areas of the workforce, and not all brands offer all the tools in every field. First, you need to ask yourself if the brand you have chosen can provide you with the tools you need now, and the ones you will need in the future. Of course, you could buy from multiple brands, but that will require more research that takes up valuable time. Fitting - a good fit is essential for a safety shoe to perform correctly and protect against injury, while it's also a must to avoid health issues such as corns or bunions.

Heel - for trainers worn for longer than four hours, the heel should be no higher than 2cm, for anything less than that, 4cm or less is adequate. Do not use electric tools in wet conditions unless they are approved for that use. If you must work in wet conditions, always ensure you have good balance and are unlikely to slip. Sole - typically made from materials like rubber, polyurethane or PVCM, durable soles feature anti-slip and impact protection properties. When you are finished using a compression tool like a nail gun, make sure that the pressure is released before you break the hose connections. Toe fitting - toes should have wriggle room with a comfortable space between them and the safety toecap.

Reviews

The materials used to make the upper and sole of a safety trainer differs from those used for a safety shoe and can make them more lightweight. Also, safety trainer design is often wider and more casual than shoes or boots. Yes. When chosen correctly to provide the protection required for your working environment, a safety trainer delivers in the same way a safety shoe would. PROTECTION: These steel toe trainers protect against impact from falling objects and against compression, giving 200 Joules of protection - equivalent to a weight of 1.5 tonnes resting on the toe area and protective steel midsole to objects penetrating from below and piercing your foot, such as nails, glass shards and more. A high level of slip resistance means you won’t slip over in wet conditions, combined with an anti-static and fuel oil-resistant sole Safety trainers appear just like regular trainers, and, while they deliver the same standards of safety as their shoe or boot counterparts, their fit is often wider and more flexible. This appeals to those who dislike traditional safety shoes and prefer the trainer style for all day wear. Nowadays, top brands offer work boots in a whole array of colours and designs to give more options to the buyer, as well as doing a fantastic job at keeping your feet safe while you are working.
