Help prevent slip-ups
December 1st 2007 In many working
environments, the right
footwear can have a
dramatic effect on helping
to prevent slips and trips.
Arco has a team of
product and business sector
specialists who can advise
on the correct selection and
use of safety footwear for
all working environments.
Roy Bedford, an Arco
footwear product specialist
with more than 40 years
experience, says, "When
preventative measures such
as keeping floors obstaclefree,
clean and dry, and
having a continuous floor
surface have been put into
place as far as is practically
possible, the last line of
defense is PPE (ie safety
footwear). However, before
buying, certain factors
should be taken into
consideration. Different
industries and applications
require different features,
depending on the hazard."
Arco offers 100+ safety
footwear styles, including
names like Dr. Martens,
Timberland, Dunlop and CAT,
as well as its own-brand
footwear, most of which
conforms to the slip-resistant
requirements of BS EN IS0
20345. More articles from Arco Limited: |
