Work footwear approved according to this directive allows orthopaedic devices to be used which maintain the requirements of standard EN ISO 20345 unchanged.What is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)?The phenomenon of electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs when static electricity is released due to friction between two conductive substances. Although usually innocuous, such events can pose significant risks to both personnel and the electronic equipment itself.Electrical Insulation to Provide SafetyGiven the chances of being in close proximity to electricity, anti-static or electrical insulating properties are critical to prevent accidental electrical shocks. The sandals come equipped with anti-static capabilities that provide an extra layer of protection in the workplace against accidental electrostatic discharge.How Do Anti-Static Sandals Protect Me?Footwear with anti-static capabilities effectively channels static electricity away from your body, directing it safely through the boot's inner sole, lining, and outer sole into the earth. This feature significantly reduces the build-up of static electricity, enhancing your safety in environments where static-related risks are a concern.Non-Magnetic and Ferrous-Free MaterialFeaturing a non-metallic yet sturdy material, the B0617 Shoes are resilient enough to withstand the toughest conditions. Being metal-free, they also lessen the risk of electrical or magnetic hazards coming into play.What Does Non-Metallic Sandals Mean?Shoes such as the Portwest Base B0617 Aerobic S1P ESD SRC Metal Free Safety Sandals that are non-metallic, are more easily able to recover their shape following a significant impact. This is useful significantly in the event of an accident where it becomes much harder to remove the feet from the footwear.Safeguards Against Chemical HazardsMore than just a sturdy outer layer, the shoe's sole is engineered with multiple lines of defence: it's not only resistant to punctures but also fortified against hydrocarbons and chemical hazards. Coupled with cutting-edge shock-absorbing technology in the heel, each step is designed to be both secure and comfortable.What is the Importance of Hydrocarbon Resistance?Hydrocarbons are organic compounds comprised solely of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Shoes that are resistant to hydrocarbons offer essential protection when you're working with or around chemicals. Such footwear guards against the risks of skin irritations, allergic reactions, infections, and chemical burns, particularly when chemical leaks or spills occur.What EN Safety Standards Do These Safety Sandals Comply With?The Portwest Base B0617 Aerobic S1P ESD SRC Metal-Free Safety Sandals are certified to EN ISO 20345: 2011 S1P ESD SRC and the Certified Electrical Inspector (CEI EN 61340-5-1, 61340-4-3,61340-4-5) standards.Read our guide about Safety Footwear Standards to learn more.Which Size Portwest Base B0617 Aerobic S1P ESD SRC Metal Free Safety Sandals Are Right for Me?Designed for both men and women and keeping the requirements of the industry, the Portwest Base B0617 Aerobic S1P ESD SRC Metal Free Safety Sandals are available in an amazing twelve different sizes.
