Categories of safety shoes

Our country classifies labor protection shoes according to the protective performance of shoes. They mainly include anti-static shoes and conductive shoes, insulating shoes, anti-smashing shoes, anti-piercing safety shoes, anti-acid and alkali shoes, anti-oil shoes, non-slip shoes, and anti-piercing shoes. , Cold-proof shoes, waterproof shoes and other special shoes. [1] 

1. Anti-static shoes and conductive shoes

It is used to prevent accidents caused by static electricity on the human body. Among them, conductive shoes can only be used in places where the risk of electric shock is not great. In order to ensure the effect of eliminating static electricity on the human body, the bottom of the shoes must not be stuck with insulating impurities, and it is not suitable to wear high Insulated socks.

2. Insulated shoes (boots)

It is used to protect electrical workers and prevent electric shock accidents within a certain voltage range; insulated shoes can only be used as auxiliary safety labor protection products, and the mechanical properties must be good.

3. Anti-smashing shoes

The main function is to prevent falling objects from hurting the feet. The front toe cap of the shoes has impact-resistant materials.

4. Anti-acid and alkali shoes (boots)

Used in the workplace where there are acid and alkali and other corrosive liquids such as acid and alkali splashing on the ground, the bottom and leather of acid and alkali resistant shoes (boots) must have good acid and alkali resistance and permeability resistance.

5. Anti-puncture shoes

It is used to protect the soles of the feet and prevent being stabbed by various hard objects.

6. Steelmaking shoes

The main function is to prevent soup and puncture cuts, to be able to bear a certain static pressure and temperature, and not flammable.

7. Oil-proof shoes (boots)

Used in places where oil or oil splashes on the floor.

8. Cold-proof shoes (boots)

It is used to protect the feet of low-temperature workers to avoid frostbite. Cold-proof shoes (boots) are divided into two types: no heat source and with heat source. The former is like cotton shoes and fur shoes (boots), and the latter is like thermal shoes (boots), which usually use fuel (such as oil, carbon) and electric heat as the heat source.

9. Waterproof shoes (boots)

It is used in work sites where ground water or splashing water. The varieties include industrial and mining waterproof shoes, salt flat shoes, aquatic boots, rice transplanting boots, etc. These boots require wear resistance, slip resistance, and puncture resistance. The rubber materials of aquatic and salt flat boots must also be resistant to salt corrosion.
