What is the role of work boots?

Work boots are shoes or boots worn to prevent injuries to the feet of workers or personal injury due to slipping or the like. There are many kinds of them, which can be divided into three types: anti-smashing shoes, non-slip shoes, and insulating shoes according to their protective functions. Some work boots have both the first two functions or all three functions. Next, let's take a look at what is the role of work boots.

The role of work boots with different protection functions.

Anti-smashing work boots are lined with protective linings made of metal plates or plastic plates on the toes and mid-soles, which can prevent a certain weight of falling or rolling objects from hurting the feet when carrying heavy objects or loading and unloading materials. The main indicator for measuring anti-smashing performance is impact resistance, in addition to penetration resistance. Only anti-smashing work boots that meet the impact resistance and penetration resistance specified by the national standard are allowed to be worn.

Anti-skid comfortable soles are designed to prevent accidents caused by workers slipping and falling. Sliding is related to the material of the sole and the smoothness of the surface. To make the shoe less slippery, the bottom surface of the shoe should be designed with some softer protrusions or corners. Ordinary rubber will expand and lose wear resistance when encountering grease, so oil-resistant rubber should be used to make the sole.

The function of insulating work boots is to minimize the risk of electric shock. Many electric shock accidents are caused by the fact that after the human body touches the charged body, the electric current flows from the electric shock part through the human body and then into the earth, causing the human body to be injured. To prevent the occurrence of such accidents, you can wear insulating shoes to keep the human body and the earth in an insulated state. The sole of the insulating shoe is made of rubber with good insulating properties without adding carbon black. Insulated shoes should be inspected and maintained frequently. If it is found to be damp or severely worn, it is forbidden to wear it again.

Work boots prevent us from getting hurt.

First, work boots can prevent being smashed or stabbed by objects. In the working environment of construction, machining, and other industries, objects often fall or iron nails and sharp objects are scattered on the ground, which is likely to cause damage to the equipment, foot injuries or stab wounds. Therefore, it is necessary to choose work boots that can prevent smashing and puncture. Second, work boots can prevent injury from high and low temperatures. When working in smelting, coking, and other workplaces, high temperature, and strong radiant heat are likely to cause burns and scalds on the feet. At this time, you can choose work boots that can withstand high temperatures, to protect the feet. On the other hand, in some cold regions, the feet are likely to be frostbitten during outdoor construction in winter, and there are also special cold-resistant shoes in the work boots to protect the feet. Third, rubber soles can prevent chemical damage. Acid and alkali-resistant work boots can prevent foot burns or erosion injuries that may occur in chemical plants, pesticides, and other operating environments that require contact with acid and alkali solutions and related chemicals. Fourth, work boots can prevent injury from electric shock and static electricity. Electrical insulation work boots can insulate people's feet from charged objects to prevent possible electric shock injuries in electrician work; while anti-static work boots can guide static electricity from the human body to the earth, eliminating the static electricity of the human body. Fifth, work boots have many other functions, and work boots with different functions can be customized according to different operating environments.
