Original Home/Industrial Joggers Safety Boots

With safety shoes, workers can protect themselves from trips, slips, burns and even electric shocks. As there is a large variety of safety shoes available in the market, it is important to find a pair of boots that fits the job role and safety requirements. For example, electric hazard boots are best when exposed to high-voltage machines and electricity, while steel-toe boots are the best choice for construction workers.

• According to the US Department of Labor, 666 workplace injuries are associated with slips, falls and trips. Injuries involving strains and falls are also among the leading causes of missing work.
• As per the NSC (National Safety Council), 1 of 4 victims of job related foot injuries wear safety shoes. The remaining 3 are simply unaware of the safety benefits of wearing protective footwear.
• According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) requirements for safety work shoes, employers must ensure that their employees use protective shoes when they work on sites where there is a risk of foot injuries. The employer can be sued in case he/she fails to comply with the regulation, or fails to provide protective footwear, or is not strict about it. Not only are these lawsuits expensive but are also time consuming. Besides this, these lawsuits can also cost the employer their license and permit.
