environmental conditions, such as higher mechanical forces, extremely sharp objects,
high and very low temperatures or the influence of concentrated acids, alkalis or other
chemicals can affect the function of the shoes, and additional safety measures should
be taken.
Shoes with the SB, S1, OB or O1 label should only be worn in dry areas. In wet areas
and in open areas wear the shoes labelled S2 or O2. In places where there is a danger
of penetration from sharp objects (such as nails or shards of glass), a penetration-proof
product with the S3 or O3 label should be worn. We'll be glad to assist you in choosing
the most suitable shoes for you.
Anti-slip: The anti-slip was tested in laboratory conditions according to the parameters
indicated. This does not represent an absolute guarantee for safe walking as this
depends on different influencing factors (for example floor covering, dirt). We
recommend using the system "shoe-floor-medium" in addition to a wearing test on site.
Safety shoes EN 20345:2011 fulfil the demands of an impact with an energy effect of
200 joules and a compressive load of 15 KN to the protective toecap area. These are
base requirements of EN ISO 20345:2011 and rank as protection against falling objects
for category SB, S1, S1P, S2 and S3 items. They do not apply for category EN ISO
20347:2012 OB, O1, O2 and O3 items, which offer no protection against falling objects.
Higher forces can increase the risk of bruising to the toes. In such cases, alternative
preventive measures should be considered.
This footwear's resistance to penetration was ascertained in the laboratory by using a
standardised nail with a force of 1100 N. Higher forces or nails of smaller diameter will
increase the risk of penetration occurring. In such circumstances alternative preventative
measures should be considered.
Two generic types of penetration resistant insert are currently available in PPE
footwear. These are metal types and those from non-metal materials. Both types meet
the minimum requirements for penetration resistance of the standard marked on this
footwear but each has different additional advantages or disadvantages including the
following:
Metal: Is less affected by the shape of the sharp object / hazard (i.e. diameter, geometry,
sharpness) but due to shoemaking limitations does not cover the entire lower area of the
shoe.
Non-metal: May be lighter, more flexible and provide greater coverage area when
compared with metal but the penetration resistance may vary more depending on the
shape of the sharp object / hazard (i.e. diameter, geometry, sharpness).
For more information about the type of penetration resistant insert provided in your
footwear please contact the manufacturer or supplier detailed on these instructions.
The shoes should be correctly stored and transported, preferably in a box in a dry place.
