What Do These Standards Mean?
EN Standards can be difficult to understand, especially if you're not within the industry. For more information on these trainers and what these safety standards mean, keep reading the information below. For a more detailed breakdown of EN standards, including specific variations and codes, check out our handy guide to EN standards for footwear.
These safety trainers have the EN safety standard rating: EN ISO 20345: 2011 S1P HRO. Let's break down what this means:
- EN ISO 20345 2011: This is the overarching standard at which the safety requirements needed for all work footwear are met. This standard is then divided into several different classes which are rated and determined from a series of risk assessments that are conducted for different parts of the footwear.
- S1: This is the subcategory of the EN ISO 20345: 2011 rating mentioned above. 'S1' means that this footwear has protective toecaps, fully closed heels with energy absorption, antistatic properties and resistance to fuel oil.
- P: This stands for 'Penetration Resistance'. This means these trainers prevent foot injury caused by punctures.
- HRO: This rating stands for 'Heat Resistant Outsole', meaning this footwear is resistant to exposure to hot temperatures. In this particular case, these trainers have a heat resistance of up to 300°C.

Who Needs These Safety Trainers?
These trainers are recommended for light industrial work. Some examples of these types of jobs include:
- Warehouse Workers: Warehouse workers handle various materials, load and unload trucks, and operate machinery like forklifts. Safety trainers protect their feet from potential hazards such as falling objects, heavy equipment, or accidental impacts.
- Assembly Line Workers: These workers are involved in repetitive tasks, often involving the use of tools or machinery. Safety trainers provide comfort, support, and protection against accidental tool drops or contact with moving machine parts.
- Manufacturing Workers: Whether it's electronics, textiles, or food processing, manufacturing environments often involve machinery, equipment, and potentially hazardous materials. Safety trainers help safeguard against foot injuries from falling objects, heavy machinery, sharp edges, and chemical spills.
- Construction Workers: In light construction jobs like residential or small-scale projects, safety trainers are essential. They protect workers from potential hazards on the job site, including falling debris, sharp objects, uneven surfaces, and accidental contact with tools or equipment.
- Maintenance Technicians: These workers are responsible for repair and maintenance tasks in various industries. Safety trainers provide protection from potential hazards such as electrical shocks, falling objects, slippery surfaces, and exposure to chemicals.
- Delivery Drivers: Even though they may not be directly involved in industrial processes, delivery drivers frequently encounter loading docks, warehouses, and construction sites. Safety trainers help protect them from potential hazards during loading/unloading, navigating uneven terrain, or accidental impacts while handling heavy packages.
These trainers offer a diverse range of use for professionals needing basic but efficient levels of personal protection.
Stylish Safety
Safety footwear isn't known for being sophisticated or stylish, and so often look clunky and awkward - particularly when you're off site. Now, you no longer have to bring a spare change of shoes with you after work for when you're popping off to the pub after work, or nipping in between meetings at the construction site. The Portwest safety trainers offer enhanced protection without feeling or looking as robust as they are - keeping workers comfortable no matter where they are.
Why Are Steel Toecaps and Midsoles Important?
Steel toecaps and midsoles play an essential part in foot protection. This is for the following reasons:
- Steel Toecaps: These are located in the toe section of many safety trainers. They are necessary for the following reasons:
- They ensure compliance with the relevant safety rules and regulations
- They prevent foot fatigue for enhanced comfort of the wearer
- They protect against 200 joules of pressure (for protection against falling objects)
- They prevent injury caused by compression, (for example between hard surfaces or machinery)
- They prevent puncture and piercing injuries (for example caused by stepping on nails or other sharp objects)
- Steel Midsoles:
- They ensure compliance with the relevant safety rules and regulations
- They prevent foot fatigue for enhanced comfort of the wearer
- They prevent puncture and piercing injuries (for example caused by stepping on nails or other sharp objects)
