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. 
  • S3: This is the subcategory of the EN ISO 20345: 2011 rating mentioned above. 'S3' means that this footwear has protective toecaps, fully closed heels with energy absorption, antistatic properties, resistance to fuel oil, penetration resistance, water resistance, raised/protruding anti-slip outsoles.

They are typically worn in industries or occupations where there is a risk of foot injuries from falling objects, sharp objects, electrical hazards, slippery surfaces, or other potential workplace hazards. Here are some common areas where safety shoes are worn:

  • Construction Sites: Safety shoes are essential in construction sites where workers are exposed to falling objects, heavy machinery, uneven terrain, and other construction-related hazards.
  • Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities: Workers in manufacturing and industrial facilities, including factories, warehouses, and production lines, often wear safety shoes to protect against potential foot injuries from heavy equipment, moving parts, falling objects, and industrial hazards.
