What Do These Standards Mean?
These boots are EN ISO 20345:2011 S4 certification, which is explained below:
- EN ISO 20345:2011 S4 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for safety footwear: "S": Stands for "Safety" and indicates that the footwear provides basic toe protection. "4" refers to additional features including:
- Protection against water absorption
- Protection against water penetration
These boots therefore meet the requirements for basic toe protection as well as water resistance. They are designed to protect the wearer's feet from impact injuries and prevent feet from water penetration and absorption.
Why are Food Wellington Boots Needed?
These boots are useful for a wide range of uses, and might even be required in some industries. This is because of the following reasons:
- Protection from spills and splashes: Chefs work in busy and fast-paced kitchens where spills, splashes, and hot liquids are common. A welly provides a waterproof barrier that protects the feet from getting wet or scalded by hot liquids. They are tall boots that extend above the ankle, offering additional coverage compared to regular kitchen shoes.
- Slip resistance: Wellington boots typically have a rubber or PVC outsole that provides good traction and slip resistance. In a busy kitchen environment where floors can become wet or greasy, slip-resistant footwear is crucial to prevent accidents and falls.
- Ease of cleaning: Chefs often work in messy and greasy conditions, and Wellington boots are relatively easy to clean. They can be quickly rinsed off or wiped down to remove dirt, grease, or food debris.
- Durability: Wellington boots are designed to be durable and long-lasting. They can withstand the demands of a kitchen environment, including constant movement, exposure to heat, and cleaning agents.
- Compliance with hygiene standards: In some regions or establishments, wearing wellies may be a requirement to comply with food safety and hygiene standards. By wearing boots that cover the entire foot and lower leg, chefs can help maintain a hygienic environment by minimising the risk of contaminants entering the food preparation area.
Easy Cleaning
Made of 100% waterproof materials, these boots have a hard exterior surface for simple, low-maintenance hygiene. This allows the wearer to simply wipe their shoe clean, preventing cross-contamination.
