Low cost overshoe with steel toecap
February 1st 2008 Low cost safety overshoes
have been around for some
time now. Yet, according to
Mary Malcolm, CEO of
Safetytoes Europe,
overshoes have been made
an 'orphan' by slavish
interpretations of regulations.
Now, however, there are
100% rubber, steel toe
overshoes that are CE
Certified. Mary Malcolm says
this should come as no
surprise as the steel toecaps
in overshoes are the same as
those used in safety
footwear.
She points out that an
office worker passing
through a safety zone can
wear toe protection PPE if
no other protection is
required. Other settings
where 'safetytoes' might be
appropriate include
environments where there is
no risk from penetration
underfoot.
Flexible, stylish and easy
to put on and take off,
'safetytoes' are designed to
encourage use, resulting in
improved safety. They are
also said to cost less than
full safety footwear. More articles from Safety Toes Europe Limited: |
