A guide to S1 safety shoe
Share
If you’re a safety professional, you know that S1, S2, and S3 safety shoes are the most important part of a good safety footwear program. But how do you know which level of protection your safety shoes should be?
Essentially the difference between a S1,S2 and S3 safety shoe are the degrees of protection the boots provide to the wearer.
S1 safety shoes are the most common and popular type of safety footwear. They offer a high level of protection against electrical hazards, falling objects and many other types of hazards.
S1 safety boots are made of strong leather or synthetic materials and are equipped with a steel toe cap. The sole of the shoe is made of a composite material that prevents soles from wearing down easily. The special design features ensure that you can feel at home in your S1 safety footwear even after a long day at work.
At Mallcom, we recognise the significance of wearing safety footwear. We provide our S1 safety footwear for industrial use to ensure maximum comfort and foot security.
What exactly does S1 mean in safety footwear
This type of work shoe meets the minimum safety requirements. The main features of an S1 safety shoe are:
- A safety toecap. Protects toes from impact and compression due to falling, sharp objects or pressure.
- An antistatic outsole. This ensures that electrical charges are safely dissipated, significantly reducing the risk of electrostatic discharges.
- Energy-absorbing heel. Reduces impact on the joints and body.
An S1 safety shoe is ideal for work in dry conditions.
The S1 safety footwear's protective toe cap can tolerate pressures of up to 15 kN and impacts of at least 200 joules. Because of its impact and oil resistance features, it is an ideal safety footwear for industrial use.
