The use of occupational and safety footwear is required by law (e.g. ArbSchG, DGUV 112-191) and makes a significant contribution to accident prevention. They protect against work-related hazards such as crushing, slipping and slipping. Depending on the protection class, the shoes have protective toe caps, puncture-resistant soles, slip-resistant profiles and antistatic properties. The overview of the occupational and safety shoe classes shows the differences. Occupational and safety shoes not only impress with their safety aspects, but also with their comfort in everyday working life. They are characterized by ergonomic designs, breathability and good cushioning. Manufacturers such as HKS And Baak even offer barefoot models.
Some models are also washable, which makes them particularly easy to care for. According to DIN EN 61340-5-1, ESD shoes with soles made of electrostatically dissipative material are mandatory in electronics production. The soles dissipate electrical charges to the floor in a controlled manner. At the same time, they prevent new charges from building up through movement. All occupational and safety shoes in this range have this feature.
