Points to Consider When Choosing Protective Footwear
1. Besides selecting the appropriate type based on the working conditions, protective shoes/boots should fit well and be comfortable. Carefully choose the correct shoe size.
2. Protective shoes should have an anti-slip design to protect the feet from injury and prevent slips and falls.
3. Protective shoes with different performance characteristics must meet their respective technical specifications, such as preventing toe injuries, preventing punctures, and providing insulation and conductivity. However, safety shoes are not a panacea.
4. Protective shoes should be carefully inspected or tested before use. Damaged or cracked protective shoes are dangerous in electrical and acid/alkali work environments.
5. Protective shoes should be properly stored after use. Rubber shoes should be rinsed with clean water or disinfectant and dried to extend their lifespan.
