NO CAP: YOU NEED TOE CAPS!

Every year, around 7,000 construction workers are injured following a slip or trip at work. Safety boots are an essential part of your PPE and wearing them should always be a priority. Here’s what you should consider when choosing a pair.

GRIP

Professional safety boots will offer adequate grip so that when you are walking on slippery or uneven surfaces, you’ll avoid tripping or slipping and potentially long-term injury. Slips, trips or falls are the second most common type of workplace accident in Great Britain.

Safety footwear is designed to protect your feet from any hazards or obstacles you might face when working on a construction site or in a domestic property. Safety boots are a must if you want to avoid injuries and lost earnings!

MID-SOLE PROTECTION

This normally consists of a steel plate that protects the sole of the foot against puncture or penetration — if you tread on a nail, for example. Always check boots feature the CE mark which shows they comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 2002.
