Tips: How to choose the right (safety) shoes according to the place of production?

(one)

Before selecting suitable safety (protective) shoes, we first understand the main hazards that result in direct or indirect injury to the user's foot. The following six are:

1. being touched by a hard, rolling or falling object;

2. pierced the sole by a sharp object;

3. Was cut by a sharp object and even torn the upper;

4. The site is slippery and falls;

5. Exposure to chemicals, molten metals, hot and cold surfaces;

6. Working in an environment that is flammable with flammable gas, if the release of static electricity is not handled properly, it becomes a source of ignition at any time, causing an explosion. In addition, the electrical conductivity of the foot can also affect the risk of electric shock when employees touch the power device.

(two)

Understanding this information will help in the selection of special safety (protective) shoes.

When choosing, the following factors must be carefully considered:

1. The construction environment, for example:

Is the venue wet?

Is the site uneven?

Are there a lot of wooden bars or other sharp obstacles near the nails?

2. Materials in contact, for example:

Corrosive chemicals;

Hot liquid

Heavy and difficult to control the goods or rollers.

3. Machines and equipment used or contacted, for example:

Electrical installations;

Forklift

Sharp hand tools.

4. Process, for example:

Dumping chemicals;

Handle high-temperature liquids;

Welding work

Human handling.

(three)

After a detailed analysis, as far as possible listed in the entire operation can directly or indirectly endanger the user's foot safety issues. Then select from the following items related to the materials and design of safety shoes to meet the protection you or your users need for construction.

1 sole material

Common rubber, polymer materials and so on.

The function of the sole is mainly abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, heat insulation and oil resistance, but due to the different characteristics of various materials, the function is also different.

The safety shoe's midsole is equipped with a metal or non-metal anti-piercing pad, which prevents the sole from being pierced by sharp metal such as metal non-metal.

In addition, soles made of certain materials can reduce the generation of static electricity or relieve the speed of electrostatic discharge. This controls the potential for static electricity to cause an explosion or fire.

2. The design of the sole

In addition to the use of non-slip sole materials, the pattern design and pattern height of the sole are also important for anti-slip functions.

3 shoe material

Commonly there are leather, artificial leather, polyvinyl chloride and synthetic fibers. Each of these substances has advantages such as:

The leather body is more durable and more comfortable to wear, but its anti-corrosive liquid damage function is not good.

Artificial leather can be applied in the case of waterproof, corrosive chemicals or other contaminants, but if the surface is depleted, the function will be affected.

PVC is most suitable for use in wet conditions and is also easy to clean but can be decomposed by some chemicals.

Synthetic fiber shoes are easier to clean and resist chemical decomposition.

4. The design of the shoe body

With reference to various types of special safety/safety shoes, there are the following 5 models.

A low shoes;

B high waist shoes (with protection function)

C half boot (with protection function)

D high boots;

E boots.

5. Toe selection

The head of the safety shoe is fitted with a metal or non-metallic protective cover. The main function is to protect the toe from being bruised or bruised. If the user is required to perform heavy duty work such as construction or handling heavy goods, the metal or non-metal protective toe cap safety shoes must have corrosion resistance and impact resistance up to 200 joules (J). performance.

(four)

Comprehensively understand more about the hazards that cause foot injuries, analyze the environment, materials, machine tools, and construction methods of the operation, identify the relevant issues and hazards to the user's foot protection as much as possible, and try to achieve quality. With technical methods to control risk, if the hazard is not effectively reduced, the use of safety/safety shoes is unavoidable.

Refer to the above safety (safety) shoes information and consult safety professionals, safety shoe manufacturers or suppliers, etc., and make appropriate matching so that the user can be fully protected. Following this process and cooperating with relevant publicity, training and supervision are the basic patterns of a foot safety protection plan and are applicable to all walks of life.
