When it comes to labor protection products, we may first think of safety helmets and safety belts, while safety shoes, which are used to protect workers' feet, are often ignored.
In fact, when workers operate machines and carry materials, their feet are usually at the lowest part of the working posture, and they will come into contact with heavy and hard objects at any time, resulting in stabbing and smashing. Therefore, the safety equipment to protect feet is particularly important.
Today, we will introduce to you the "foot" protective weapon - safety shoes in combination with various working environments.
What are the functions of safety shoes?
Because there are various potential safety hazards in the working environment, special attention must be paid to the material and functional design of uppers, uppers, toe caps and soles in the production process of safety shoes.
With the continuous progress of China's shoemaking technology and the increasing renewal of global shoe materials, safety shoes with toe protection, anti smashing, anti puncture, anti-static, electrical insulation, acid and alkali resistance and other functional combinations have begun to be widely used in various industries.
Anti smashing
The toe cap of the shoe is made of metal or composite materials with good impact resistance, high strength and light weight, which can protect the feet and toes. It is mainly applicable to mining, machinery, construction, metallurgy and other heavy industries. When selecting safety shoes of different strength according to the weight of operation.
Anti puncture
It mainly provides anti puncture performance through steel midsole and Kevlar midsole, which is suitable for machining, maintenance, construction and other industries.
Antistatic
Add anti-static agent to the sole, and conduct resistance test and regular inspection from the beginning of use to ensure that the maximum resistance value of the shoe does not exceed the allowable value. It is suitable for heavy dust environment such as petrochemical industry, coal mine, printing and construction.
Electrical insulation
Insulating agent is used in the sole to insulate the human body from the ground and prevent electric shock injury. caused by current. Regular inspection and maintenance are required. Once the function fails, it must be stopped immediately. It is mainly applicable to power plants, power stations, coal mines and other industries, and shall be selected according to the voltage range of the workplace.
