Tuff Indian Safety Shoes

Safety shoe is a durable boot or shoe that has a protective reinforcement in the toe which protects the foot from falling objects or compression, usually combined with a mid sole plate to protect against punctures from below.The importance of safety shoes in the workplace cannot be overestimated. The crippling cost and distress to employees of foot injuries, has prompted most nations, including the UK, to implement strict mandatory policies which enable effective protective strategies in the workplace. Although we often associate foot injury with dangerous work environments; blisters, flat feet, dropped arches and aches and pains, associated with long periods of standing, all take their toll and can lead to unproductive staff and burgeoning absenteeism.

Although traditionally made of steel, the reinforcement can also be made of a composite material, a plastic such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or even Aluminum. Safety shoes are important in the construction industry and in many industrial settings.

 

Occupational safety and health legislation or insurance requirements may require the use of such boots in some settings, and may mandate certification of such boots and the display of such certification directly on the boots.
