An article will let you know about safety shoes

At present, the more common protective shoes include safety shoes, insulated shoes, anti-static and conductive shoes, steel-making shoes and shoe covers, cold-proof shoes, etc., as well as sole insulation suitable for road workers, which is suitable for construction workers' sole reinforcement. Suitable for food, brewers, shoes, moisture-proof shoes, etc. The function of the protective shoes is mainly set for the working environment and conditions, and generally has the functions of anti-slip, anti-piercing, anti-squeezing, and the other has a specific function, such as anti-conductive, anti-corrosion and the like.

Safety footwear market is cold

If people don’t wear safety helmets, when they suffer accidental injury, because of injuries to the head, it is likely to cause serious injury or even death, but without wearing protective shoes, in comparison, the damage will be much lighter. Less will endanger life. It is also for this reason that wearing protective shoes correctly is often overlooked by workers. According to Luo Baihui, operation supervisor of Dongguan Knight Safety Shoes Factory, a colleague went to the construction site and found that many workers wear shoes or even slippers. According to regulations, workers at construction sites must wear protective toe safety shoes in accordance with work needs to avoid crushing hard objects and metal objects to injure the feet.

Lack of supervision is also one of the reasons why foot protection is not in place. What type of shoes a worker should wear and what kind of protective function the shoes worn need to be, and this job lacks supervision. Some companies have security personnel to inspect, but their strength is often not enough, or the security staff can not find the workers' protective shoes are not qualified. Some workers believe that uniforms and shoes and hats are only used for uniform dress, or a kind of welfare, and some labor protection supplies are indeed not adapted to the needs of modern production, resulting in long-term neglect of labor protection products, especially It is used for protection of hands and feet which are not related to the safety of life.

It is understood that, for a long time, the labor protection product industry has been insufficiently invested and slow in development compared with other high-tech industries. Some companies produce high-tech, high-standard products for export. A person responsible for the production of protective equipment said that they are not reluctant to sell products in the domestic market, but are limited to domestic companies investing less in labor protection products, and insufficient enforcement of relevant national laws and regulations.

One issue that restricts the development of protective footwear in China is the cost of shoes. In view of the current background, the price that can be accepted by enterprises that purchase protective shoes is generally low, and the low price also determines the cost of the product, resulting in the quality of inexpensive protective shoes cannot pass through.

New standard promotes protective footwear "face change"

In fact, China’s step-by-step approach to international standards in labor protection supplies has not stopped. As early as 1988, the former National Standardization Technical Committee for Labor Protection provided a standard system for labor protection articles. However, due to multiple changes in the organization, the revision of standards for labor protection supplies did not reach the expected target. At present, China has formulated and promulgated a series of national and industrial standards for labor protection products. However, some national standards are still being developed.

In December 2005, the four national standards drafted and revised by the Wuhan Institute of Safety and Environmental Protection of the China Iron and Steel Group passed the examination and approval. These four criteria are "Personal protective equipment - shoes. Test methods "Personal protective equipment - safety shoes" "Personal protective equipment - protective shoes" and "Personal protective equipment - professional shoes", covers the national quality testing methods and specific as a major labor protection articles - footwear Quality standard requirements.

The above four new standards for protective footwear have been completed in 2006. The "Personal Protective Equipment - Test Methods for Shoes" will be formally implemented in February 2008. Compared with the original standard, these four standards have undergone great changes, mainly reflected in the relatively simple features of the shoes as stipulated in the original standards. However, due to the increasing complexity of workplaces, it is required that protective shoes should have multiple functions and new standards. This adds more features. In the original standard, in addition to the "General Technical Conditions for Electrically Insulating Shoes," the rest of the standards will be replaced by new standards.
