What are the different types of safety shoes?

Safety shoes are one of the safety protection articles to avoid or reduce the injury of employees. It is mainly to protect the foot of the human body from external hard objects or hard objects and other substances such as damage, safety shoes and ordinary rubber shoes are different, than ordinary rubber shoes production industry, the use of materials and testing standards are high, safety shoes only in the factory through a series of testing items, in order to truly protect the safety of employees.

Components and materials of 1. safety shoes

Upper and upper: first layer of cowhide (air permeability and stretch resistance); two layer of cowhide (good air permeability and stretch resistance)

Toe: stainless steel or non-metallic synthetic material

Sole: stainless steel or non-metallic synthetic material and density PU injection plastic or rubber EVA/PU midsole. (generally using polyurethane material injection molding, safety shoe soles than ordinary rubber soles more wear-resistant 2~3 times)

Types of 2. safety shoes

According to the on-site needs of various industries, safety shoes are divided into: anti-smashing safety shoes, anti-puncture safety shoes, anti-smashing anti-puncture safety shoes, anti-chemical safety shoes, anti-skid and anti-oil safety shoes, insulated safety shoes, cold-proof safety shoes, etc. to 3. the performance of various safety shoes.

Anti-smashing safety shoes: mainly to prevent objects from smashing the feet and toes. The front baotou of the shoe is lined with metal materials with good impact resistance, high strength and light weight. Its strength and impact resistance must be tested to meet the specified standards before use. Pay attention to choose safety shoes with different strength according to the weight of the operation.

Anti-puncture safety shoes: anti-puncture strength is level 1, suitable for mining, fire protection, construction, forestry, machinery industry, etc.

Anti-smashing and anti-piercing safety shoes: suitable for metallurgy, mining, forestry, ports, loading and unloading, quarrying, machinery, construction, petroleum, chemical industries, etc.

Anti-chemical safety shoes: according to the use of the material, the protective function is generally divided into anti-acid and alkali, anti-oil, waterproof and so on. Anti-acid and alkali safety shoes are suitable for places where there are acid and alkali and other corrosive solutions on the ground, and are made of acid and alkali resistant rubber. Oil-proof safety shoes are used in oily work occasions and are made of rubber or polyethylene plastic. Waterproof safety shoes are used for ground water or water splash operations, with rubber as the basic shoe material.

Anti-static safety shoes: used in dust-free electrostatic workshop and general special electronic factory. Anti-static safety shoes are equipped with anti-static or conductive soles, and the entire shoe does not use metal materials. Safety shoes should be tested for resistance from the beginning of use, and then need to be tested regularly to ensure that the resistance value of the shoes does not exceed the allowable value.

Electrical insulation safety shoes: minimize the risk of electric shock during live working. Because the current is introduced into the ground through the human body through the contact point during electric shock, it is necessary to wear insulating gloves, insulating shoes and anti-arc clothing during electrical operation. Select according to the withstand voltage range of insulated safety shoes and the range of voltage in the operating field. Insulated safety shoes should also be inspected and maintained regularly. Once the function fails, they must be stopped immediately.

Anti-high temperature safety shoes: also known as casting shoes and steel-making shoes in the industry, mainly protect the feet from burns and burns caused by high temperature liquids. This kind of shoe should be resistant to pressure and not easy to burn. The upper has oil-soaked leather surface and canvas leather surface, and the sole is cow leather with tire backing. In order to prevent the scald of molten metal splash, the style of high waist easy to take off is adopted. Generally, this type is used with high temperature apron or heat insulation clothing, high temperature gloves, etc.

Cold-proof shoes: used for low temperature and cold environment work, shoes with fur and felt boots and other materials, has good thermal insulation performance.

Precautions

There are many kinds of safety shoes, which bring people enough safety protection, but also know more about the choice of safety shoes.
