Choosing safety shoes
Choose the right safety shoe based on user needs and working environment, and
make sure it fits well on your foot for optimal safety and comfort. Ask your dealer
for help in choosing the right product.

P – Penetration resistance:
The penetration resistance of this footwear has been measured in the
laboratory using a truncated nail of diameter 4,5 mm and a force of 1100 N.
Higher forces or nails of smaller diameter will increase the risk of penetration
occurring. In such circumstances alternative preventative measures should be
considered Two generic types of penetration resistant insert are currently
available in PPE footwear. These are metal types and those from non-metal
materials. Both types meet the minimum requirements for penetration
resistance of the standard marked on this footwear but each has different
additional advantages or disadvantages including the following:

Metal: Is less affected by the shape of the sharp object / hazard (ie diameter,
geometry, sharpness) but due to shoemaking limitations does not cover the
entire lower area of the shoe Non-metal – May be lighter, more flexible and
provide greater coverage area when compared with metal but the
penetration resistance may vary more depending on the shape of the sharp
object / hazard (ie diameter, geometry, sharpness) For more information
about the type of penetration resistant insert provided in your footwear
please contact the manufacturer or supplier detailed on these instructions"

Antistatic footwear
Antistatic footwear should be used if it is necessary to minimize electrostatic
build-up by dissipating electrostatic charges, thus avoiding the risk of spark
ignition of, for example flammable substances and vapours, and if the risk of
electric shock from any electrical apparatus or live parts has not been
completely eliminated.
It should be noted, however, that antistatic footwear cannot guarantee an
adequate protection against electric shock as it introduces only a resistance
between foot and floor. If the risk of electric shock has not been completely
eliminated, additional measures to avoid this risk are essential. Such measures,
as well as the additional tests mentioned below, should be a routine part of the
accident prevention programme at the workplace.
Experience has shown that, for antistatic purposes, the discharge path through
a product should normally have an electrical resistance of less than 1 000 Mø at
any time throughout its useful life. A value of 100 kø is specified as the lowest
limit of resistance of a product when new, in order to ensure some limited
protection against dangerous electric shock or ignition in the event of any
electrical apparatus becoming defective when operating at voltages of up to
250 V.
However, under certain conditions, users should be aware that the footwear
might give inadequate protection and additional provisions to protect the
wearer should be taken at all times.
The electrical resistance of this type of footwear can be changed significantly
by flexing, contamination or moisture. This footwear will not perform its
intended function if worn in wet conditions. It is, therefore, necessary to ensure
that the product is capable of fulfilling its designed function of dissipating
electrostatic charges and also of giving some protection during the whole of its
life. The user is recommended to establish an in-house test for electrical
resistance and use it at regular and frequent intervals.
Classification I footwear can absorb moisture if worn for prolonged periods and
in moist and wet conditions can become conductive.
If the footwear is worn in conditions where the soling material becomes
contaminated, wearers should always check the electrical properties of the
footwear before entering a hazard area.
Where antistatic footwear is in use, the resistance of the flooring should be
such that it does not invalidate the protection provided by the footwear.
In use, no insulating elements, with the exception of normal hose, should be
introduced between the inner sole of the footwear and the foot of the wearer.
If any insert is put between the inner sole and the foot, the combination
footwear/insert should be checked for its electrical properties.
