What Do These Standards Mean?
- EN ISO 20345:2022 S3S refers to a specific safety standard that guarantees the following:
- Toe protection capable of withstanding 200 joules (equivalent to a 20kg weight dropping from a height of 10.2m)
- Additional foot protection in the form of a closed heel
- Anti static protection to reduced electrostatic build up and the risks associated with it (eg sparks)
- Energy absorption in the heel to provide support and reduce foot fatigue
- A waterproof exterior to prevent water penetration
- Midsole penetration resistance to prevent sharp objects from penetrating the footwear
The EN ISO 20345:2022 S3S signifies that the footwear meets the European safety standards for general use.
- IEC 61340-5-1:2016 refers to footwear that provide effective protection for wearers against harmful exposure to static electricity. Static electricity can build up if PPE is not conductive enough, resulting in a sudden electrostatic discharge (ESD). This standard indicates that the product minimises the risk of ESD-related damage as a result of a strong, sudden discharge of built-up electrostatic charge.
Are the Portwest FE01 Composite Mid-Height Boots ESD Safe?
Yes. The Portwest FE01 Bevel Mid-Height Boots are ideal for those working in ESD environments and have been tested in accordance with EU standards to ensure Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) resistance below 1 gigaohm:
Pierce-Resistant Composite Midsole
The Portwest Bevel Safety Boots are ideal for those who work in environments where hazardous debris such as nails and other sharp objects are often found on the floor. Fortified with a composite plate to help prevent punctures, the Portwest Bevel Boots offer protection from sharps without the added weight of a steel midsole, making this safety boot the perfect lightweight choice across a range of industries.
Who Can Wear the Portwest FE01 Bevel Safety Boots?
With their impressive protective qualities and comfortable fit, the Portwest Bevel Safety Boots are ideal for those who handle heavy supplies and equipment, those who need to be on their feet for extended periods of time, and those who work in environments with hazard risks such as ESD, sharp debris or slippery floors. We recommend the Portwest FE01 Bevel Composite Boots for workers across a range of industries, including:
- Electrical Engineers
- Electronic and medical device manufacturers
- Vehicle fabrication and mechanics
- Plastic and paper industries
- Clean-room environments
- Laboratories
- Pharmaceutical industries
- Warehousing
- Railway Engineers
- Construction and Manual Labour
Why Choose Metal-Free Safety Boots?
In environments that require routine scanning such as airports, government buildings and other high-security environments, safety shoes that contain metal can be highly inconvenient as they often need to be removed before passing through security scanning machines. The Portwest Apex Shoes are 100% metal free, meaning they won't set off metal detectors. They also offer an additional layer of safety because they pose no risk of sparking.
Combining Protection and Agility
For those who require agility, the Portwest Safety Boots are designed for active workers who need a safety boot that is lightweight and metal free. Lighter than traditional safety boots that use steel, the Portwest Safety Boots offer agility combined with slip resistance and a dual-density sole unit to reduce foot fatigue.
Composite Toe Cap for Lightweight Protection
The composite toe cap of the Portwest FE01 Bevel Composite Boots helps to prevent injury to the toes without weighing you down with steel. The composite toe caps also have a variety of other benefits, including:
- Compression Resistance: These boots offer protection against compression forces in environments where heavy objects and machinery are handled
- Occupational Safety Compliance: Many industries and workplaces have specific safety regulations that require workers to wear footwear with protective toe caps. These boots ensure compliance with these safety requirements
- Durability: The composite toe caps offer additional durability to the front portion of the shoe, making the boots more robust and long-lasting
