Whitepaper – Making sure the chemistry on your feet is right

Every year, over 800 employees working in the production of chemical products injure their ankles and feet. The greatest danger to feet in this sector, as in others, derives from so-called STF accidents, caused by slipping, tripping or falling. However, falling objects and handling toxic chemicals also involve a risk of injury to the feet. Consequently, the requirements for safety shoes for the chemical and petrochemical industry are high. In addition to the necessary protective features, comfort must not be neglected. In this white paper, we explain how comfortable safety shoes with innovative cushioning materials, a customised fit, a practical fastening system and ankle protection can help to reduce the number of foot accidents.
