Adaptable to Orthopaedic Insoles
The Portwest Base B0647 Frisbee S1P shoes are DGUV 112-191 certified and so you can use your personalised orthopaedic inserts or insoles inside them without voiding their CE certification.
What Is DGUV112-191 and What Does it Do?
It is a European standard that regulates foot and knee protective devices fitted with orthopaedic insole. Work footwear approved according to this directive allows orthopaedic devices to be used which maintain the requirements of standard EN ISO 20345 unchanged.
Non-Magnetic and Ferrous Free Material
Featuring a non-metallic yet sturdy material, the B0647 Frisbee shoes are resilient enough to withstand the toughest conditions. Being metal free, it also lessens the risk of environmental hazards and allows you to work around magnets (for example working with MRIs) without having to worry.
What Is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)?
The phenomenon of electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs when static electricity is released due to friction between two conductive substances. Although usually innocuous, such events can pose significant risks to both personnel and the electronic equipment itself.
Electrical Insulation to Provide Safety
Given the chances of being in close proximity to electricity, anti-static or electrical insulating properties are critical to prevent accidental electrical shocks. The shoes come equipped with anti-static capabilities that provide an extra layer of protection in the workplace against accidental electrostatic discharge.
How Do Anti-Static Shoes Protect Me?
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.
Safeguards Against Chemical Hazards
More than just a sturdy outer layer, the sandal's soles are engineered with multiple lines of defence: they are 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. Shoes 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.
What EN Safety Standards Do These Safety Shoes Comply With?
The Portwest Base B0647 Frisbee S1P ESD SRC Puncture Resistant Metal Free Safety Shoes are certified to EN ISO 20345: 2012 S1P ESD SRC and the Certified Electrical Inspector (CEI EN 61340-5-1, 61340-4-3,61340-4-5) standards.
