FAQs
What will safety boots provide protection from?
Safety boots prevent injury and reduce accidents on site by:
- Minimising trips and falls on slippery surfaces
- Protecting feet and toes from heavy objects or pressure
- Preventing sharp objects puncturing the sole of the boot
- Protecting against harmful liquids like chemicals
- Preventing sore feet and strain on ankles during long work hours
Are there different types of safety boots for different industries?
Different types of safety footwear come equipped with features to suit different environments, working conditions and safety regulations. For example, boots for construction workers feature tough steel toecaps, while boots for the oil and gas industry may focus on anti-slip properties and chemical resistance.
What are the different safety ratings for work boots?
Safety ratings are usually categorised into S1, S2 and S3 to determine their protective properties.
As a guide, S1 provides toe protection, antistatic properties, resistance to fuel and oil and a closed heal area for energy absorption. S2 provides the properties of S1 but with water-resistant upper materials. S3 combines the features of S1 and S2 but with added penetration resistance and slip-resistance for secure grip on a range of surface types.
Are safety boots comfortable?
Safety boots are designed to provide comfort as well as protection, as they are meant to be worn all day at work, or on long shifts. Many safety boots have added comfort features such as the 360 degree rubber external chassis system for maximum ankle support in the Steelite Mustang boot, or Poron® insole cushions in the Scruffs Cheviot boot. Safety boots prioritise features such as cushioning, arch support and use breathable materials for long-lasting comfort.
