Steel-toed boots
For those in the construction industry or individuals who work with heavy machinery on a daily basis, these boots are still the way to go. High-quality models not only protect your upper foot from falling equipment, but the soles are reinforced to prevent punctures.
Be sure to check with your employer to determine the grade of steel toe needed on your work site and whether you need sole protection.
Rubber or PVC shoes
If you work regularly with electrical equipment, live wires or powerized machines, rubber footwear is necessary to keep you safe from electrical dangers. Additionally, if you work around hazardous chemicals or in food processing, rubberized shoes will keep your lower extremities from being exposed.
Thermal boots
Those working in cold conditions, whether outside or indoors, must have thermal boots to protect their feet from frostbite. These shoes provide safety protection as well as an additional layer of insulation to keep feet warm.
Welder boots
For those whose responsibilities include welding and soldering, it's important to choose boots with heat-resistant soles. Welder boots made from natural materials will provide extra protection from sparks or hot debris.
Shoe covers
Safety Company also has an array of shoe covers to keep your feet safe while you're on the job. But remember, it's critical to select a shoe that provides appropriate protection for your work conditions.
