What's Included?
Why Do I Need a Toe Cap?
The short answer is that they protect your feet from falling objects and from bumping into objects. Beyond comfort, they provide an extra layer of protection and since the toe cap is not metallic, the shoes are lighter and more comfortable to wear.
Electrical Insulation to Provide Safety
Given the electrical nature of and proximity to devices in most workplaces, anti-static or electrical insulating properties are critical to prevent accidental electrical shocks. The boots come equipped with anti-static capabilities that provide an extra layer of protection in the workplace.
What is the Use of Anti-Static?
Footwear with anti-static capabilities effectively channels static electricity away from your body, directing it safely through the boot's inner sole, lining, and outer sole into the earth. This feature significantly reduces the build-up of static electricity, enhancing your safety in environments where static-related risks are a concern.
Non-Magnetic and Ferrous Free Material
Featuring a non-metallic yet sturdy material, the B0609 is resilient enough to withstand the toughest conditions. Being metal free, it also lessens the risk of environmental hazards.
What Does Non-Metallic Shoes Mean?
Shoes such as the Portwest Base B0609 Record Rafting S3 SRC Men's Safety Shoes that are non-metallic, are more easily able to recover their shape following a significant impact. This is useful significantly in the event of an accident where it becomes much harder to remove the feet from the footwear.
Safeguards Against Chemical Hazards
More than just a sturdy outer layer, the shoe's sole is engineered with multiple lines of defence: it's not only resistant to punctures but also fortified against hydrocarbons and chemical hazards. Coupled with cutting-edge shock-absorbing technology in the heel, each step is designed to be both secure and comfortable.
What is the Importance of Hydrocarbon Resistance?
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds comprised solely of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Work boots that are resistant to hydrocarbons offer essential protection when you're working with or around chemicals. Such footwear guards against the risks of skin irritations, allergic reactions, infections, and chemical burns, particularly when chemical leaks or spills occur.
Adapted to International Standards
These versatile and durable shoes set the standard for safety, comfort, and style, making it the ideal choice for those who require uncompromised protection in challenging work conditions. Certified to the stringent UNI EN ISO 20345:2012 S3 (SRC) standards, the B0609 Record Rafting S3 SRC Men's Safety Shoes are designed to meet and exceed safety expectations.
