What Do These Standards Mean?

These boots meet the requirements for S3 Safety Footwear. They also have WR and SRC safety ratings. Check out the below information for a breakdown of what these codes mean:

  • EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for safety footwear: "S": Stands for "Safety" and indicates that the footwear provides basic toe protection. "3" refers to additional features including:

    • Antistatic properties
    • Energy absorption in the heel region
    • Resistance to water penetration
    • Resistance to penetration by sharp objects
  • WR: WR stands for Water Resistant. Footwear given this safety rating has 'general water resistance', meaning they can be worn in both direct and indirect contact with water. This allows for use both indoor and outdoors in wet, rainy, or damp conditions for a wide range of use in various weathers and work environments. 

  • SRC: SRC stands for Slip Resistant Footwear. This protects users from tripping on hazardous surfaces as a result of spills and/or uneven terrains. This is ideal for various workspaces, from working outside under extreme circumstances (for example, on mountains or in rainy conditions, or inside in environments with likelihood of trips and falls such as kitchens or catering facilities).

What Other Boots of the Same Standard Are Available?

We have a huge range of S3 Safety Footwear available, with a variety of styles and designs to choose from. We also have a number of Work Safety Boots perfect for lightweight yet robust hazard protection.

Where Else Can These Safety Boots Be Worn?

Safety boots are designed to provide protection to the feet in various hazardous work environments. They are typically worn in industries or occupations where there is a risk of foot injuries from falling objects, sharp objects, electrical hazards, slippery surfaces, or other potential workplace hazards. Here are some common areas where safety boots are worn:

  • Construction Sites: Safety boots are essential in construction sites where workers are exposed to falling objects, heavy machinery, uneven terrain, and other construction-related hazards.
  • Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities: Workers in manufacturing and industrial facilities, including factories, warehouses, and production lines, often wear safety boots to protect against potential foot injuries from heavy equipment, moving parts, falling objects, and industrial hazards.
  • Warehouses and Logistics: In warehouses and logistics environments, where materials handling, loading and unloading, and storage activities take place, safety boots are worn to protect against foot injuries from heavy objects, pallets, forklifts, and potential slips and falls.
  • Mining and Extraction: Mining operations involve rugged terrains, heavy machinery, and various hazards such as falling rocks, sharp objects, and chemical exposure. Safety boots are crucial for miners to protect their feet in such challenging environments.
  • Oil and Gas Industry: Workers in the oil and gas industry, including drilling, refining, and pipeline operations, face a range of hazards such as heavy equipment, slippery surfaces, chemical exposure, and potential impact injuries. Safety boots are worn to mitigate these risks.
  • Electrical and Utility Work: Electricians, lineworkers, and utility workers who deal with electrical systems and power distribution wear safety boots that provide electrical hazard protection. These boots are designed to prevent electrical shocks and withstand high voltage.
  • Emergency Services: Firefighters, paramedics, and other emergency service personnel often wear safety boots as part of their protective gear to ensure foot safety during rescue operations and hazardous incidents.

Why are Toe Caps Important?

These safety boots come with inbuilt toe caps, which have a variety of benefits including:

  • Impact Protection: Toecaps are designed to withstand a significant amount of force and provide protection against heavy falling objects or accidental impacts. They act as a barrier between the toes and potential hazards, reducing the risk of fractures, bruises, or other foot injuries.
  • Compression Resistance: In certain work environments, there is a risk of the feet being exposed to compression forces, such as heavy machinery or equipment rolling over the feet. Toecaps offer resistance against compression, preventing the toes from getting crushed or injured.
  • Occupational Safety Compliance: Many industries and workplaces have specific safety regulations or standards that require workers to wear protective footwear with toecaps. This is particularly common in construction, manufacturing, logistics, and other sectors where foot injuries are a potential risk. Wearing footwear with toecaps ensures compliance with these safety requirements.
  • Durability: Toecaps provide an additional layer of durability to the front portion of the shoe. They are highly resistant to impact and compression forces, as well as abrasion, making this footwear more robust and long-lasting.
  • Versatility: Toecaps can be incorporated into various types of footwear, including boots, shoes, and sneakers. This allows workers in different industries to choose the appropriate footwear style while still benefiting from toe protection.

We have a range of Toe Capped Footwear and Composite Toe Capped Footwear available for personal protection across a variety of industries.
