Leave a message

What are safety shoes? it is a general term for safety shoes and protective shoes, also known as labor insurance shoes. Generally refers to footwear that is worn in different workplaces to protect the feet and legs from foreseeable injuries. Safety shoes mainly include toe-proof shoes, insulated shoes, anti-static shoes, conductive shoes, steel-making shoes, rubber boots, and cold-proof shoes.

1. According to industrial needs, safety shoes can be classified into the following types: PVC protective safety shoes, outdoor sports safety shoes, ordinary safety shoes, insulated safety shoes, miner safety shoes, anti-chemical safety shoes, insulation protective safety shoes, non-slip Set of safety shoes, sports safety shoes, oil-resistant mining safety shoes, anti-chemical safety shoes, health and safety shoes, oil-resistant safety shoes, miners safety shoes, insulated safety shoes, oil-resistant rubber safety shoes, warm safety shoes...

2, according to the sole classification: the sole is generally made of polyurethane material injection molding, with oil-resistant safety shoes, wear-resistant safety shoes, acid and alkali safety shoes, insulated safety shoes, waterproof safety shoes, lightweight safety shoes. Safety shoes are 2-3 times more wear resistant than ordinary rubber soles. The safety shoes are light and safe, and the shoes are soft and the weight of the safety shoes is only 50%-60% of the rubber sole.

3, according to the functional classification of safety shoes: toe anti-smash shoes, insulated shoes, anti-static shoes, conductive shoes, steel-making shoes, rubber boots, anti-cold shoes

(1) Toe protection shoes. Mainly to prevent objects from hurting the feet and toes. For example, a drum that rolls when carrying heavy loads or loading and unloading materials, a heavy pipe hits the foot or inadvertently kicks a sharp metal plate. The front head of the shoe is lined with a metal material with good impact resistance, high strength and light weight. The strength and impact resistance of the shoe must be tested and the standard can be used. Be careful to choose safety shoes of different strengths according to the weight of the work.

(2) Insulated shoes. The role of insulated shoes is to minimize the risk of electric shock. Because the current flows into the ground through the human body through the contact point when the electric shock is applied, not only the insulated gloves but also the insulated shoes are required for electrical work. According to the pressure range, there are several kinds of insulated shoes of 20kV, 6kV and 5kV, which must be selected according to the working range. Insulated shoes should be inspected and maintained frequently. If they are wet or worn, they will not be protected.

(3) Anti-static and conductive shoes. Anti-static shoes are suitable for preventing accidents caused by static electricity in the human body, and avoiding accidental electric shock to the human body caused by 220V power frequency capacitor equipment. Conductive shoes are used in places that are more sensitive to human static electricity and may be exposed to fire or explosion. Some of these shoes are safety shoes and rubber shoes with anti-static or conductive soles. The whole shoe does not use metal to reduce the possibility of friction and fire. The shoe is tested for resistance from the beginning. Regular tests are then carried out to ensure that the maximum resistance of the shoe does not exceed the permissible value.

(4) Steelmaking shoes and shoe covers. These shoes are also called caster shoes, mainly to prevent the burning of the feet. These shoes are resistant to pressure and are not easy to burn. The upper is made of oil-impregnated cowhide and canvas-inlaid leather. The soles are made of tire-lined cow leather. In order to prevent the scalding of the molten metal splash, a high waist and easy to take off style is adopted. The shoe cover and the trouser legs can also be covered with a shoe cover, and the shoe cover is mostly made of canvas, asbestos and aluminum film.

(5) Rubber boots. According to its use, it has anti-acid boots, waterproof boots and oil-proof shoes. The acid-proof and alkali-resistant boots are suitable for the place where the ground has acid and alkali and other corrosive liquids. They are made of acid and alkali resistant rubber, and also have anti-acid and alkali pants boots with pants and boots. The waterproof boots are used for water or splashing water. The basic materials are rubber, miner waterproof boots, special boots for aquatic products, and transplanted boots. Oil-proof shoes are used for oily work on the ground. They are made of rubber or polyethylene plastic, and have boots and shoes.

(6) Cold-proof shoes. It is suitable for wearing in cold and low temperature environment. It has cotton shoes, fur boots and felt boots, etc. It has good thermal insulation performance.

In addition to the above protective shoes, there are also suitable for the construction of road workers to heat the soles, suitable for the reinforcement of the soles of construction workers, protective shoes for the moisture of the soles of food and wine workers, and so on.
