At work, the damage of the foot can be summarized into the following types:
Shocks, impacts, and heavy objects that are thrown on the feet can cause punctures in the feet, which can cause great damage to the feet. In general, workers in these environments require safety footwear to be worn to reduce safety and increase work efficiency while improving comfort.
1. Handling some heavy objects that may fall (such as luggage, heavy tools, etc.) must be worn with safety footwear with impact or impact protection.
2. Some sharp objects such as nails, screws, metal sharp rings for scratching, etc. may be encountered during work; it is required to wear safety shoes with high puncture resistance.
3. In some working environments, the ground is damp and oily. If you do not use anti-slip flooring, you should wear safety shoes with excellent anti-slip performance. According to experts' estimates, wearing only non-slip safety shoes can reduce the chance of accidents by half and save costs.
4. For the special profession of electric workers, special types of insulated shoes must be used.
5. Extreme temperature damage - In extremely hot or cold working conditions, the foot may be burned or frostbitten. Therefore, you should wear special shoes.
Safety shoe type
The sole of the safety shoe is generally injection molded with polyurethane material, and has the advantages of oil resistance, anti-smashing, puncture resistance, wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, insulation, waterproofness and lightness. It is 2-3 times more wear resistant than ordinary rubber soles. Light weight, softness, and weight is only 50%-60% of the rubber sole.
Different safety shoes have different functions and different scopes of application:
• Protection of toe safety shoes: The safety performance of the inner toe cap is AN1, suitable for metallurgy, mining, forestry, port, loading and unloading, quarrying, machinery, construction, petroleum, chemical industry, etc.
• Anti-piercing safety shoes: The puncture-resistant strength is grade 1, suitable for mining, fire protection, construction, forestry, cold work, machinery and so on.
• Electrically insulated shoes: suitable for electricians, electronic operators, cable installers, substation installers, etc. Note: Suitable for working environment with power frequency below 1KV, working environment should keep the upper dry. Avoid contact with sharp objects, high temperature and corrosive substances, and the bottom must not be corroded and damaged.
• Anti-static safety shoes: It can eliminate static electricity accumulation in the human body and is suitable for flammable workplaces, such as gas station operators and liquefied gas filling workers.
Safety shoes precautions
Note: It is forbidden to use as insulated shoes;
Wear anti-static shoes should not wear insulated wool thick socks or use insulated insole at the same time; anti-static shoes should be used with anti-static clothing at the same time; anti-static shoes generally do not exceed 200 hours for shoe resistance test once, if the resistance is not It cannot be used as an anti-static shoe within the prescribed range.
Acid and alkali resistant safety shoes: suitable for electroplating workers, acid pickers, electrolysis workers, liquid distributors, chemical operators, etc.
Note: Acid and alkali resistant shoes can only be used in acid and alkali working places with low concentration; avoid contact with high temperature, sharp damage to the upper or sole leakage; apply water to wash the acid and alkali liquid on the shoes after wearing, then Allow to dry and avoid direct sunlight or drying.
Selection and use of safety shoes
(1) In addition to the appropriate type of protective footwear, it is also important to fit the foot and make it comfortable to wear. It is important to carefully select the appropriate protective shoe size.
(2) Protective shoes should have a non-slip design, not only to protect the human foot from injury, but also to prevent accidents caused by the operator being slipped.
(3) All kinds of protective shoes with different performances must meet the technical indicators of their respective protective performance, such as the toes are not bruised, the soles of the feet are not stabbed, and the insulation is required. But protective shoes are not omnipotent.
(4) Before using protective shoes, carefully inspect or test. In electrical and acid-based operations, damaged and cracked protective shoes are dangerous.
(5) Protective shoes should be properly kept after use. Rubber shoes should be rinsed with water or disinfectant and dried to prolong service life.

(2) Protective shoes should have a non-slip design, not only to protect the human foot from injury, but also to prevent accidents caused by the operator being slipped.
