They also protect the workers from falling objects, wet or slippery flooring, sharp objects and other hazards. These shoes also protect the feet from molten metal and welding sparks.

• Superior Resistance - The PVC safety shoes are also resistant to animal fats (especially poultry), acids, oils, greases and chemicals.

• Anti Slip and Comfortable – These shoes are very comfortable to wear and the person can work with ease.  Some of them have removable insoles and also non-slip and self-cleaning soles. They include cut off bands for height adjustment.

Why Use Worker Safety Shoes ???

Worker Safety Shoes

Ever visited an under-construction building site or a unit manufacturing industrial boilers, tanks and similar fabrications? Forget about such scenarios, even in our daily lives, in the confines of our beautiful homes, we wear footwear despite being aware of the non-existent dangers to our foot. Without worker safety shoes, imagine the plight of the workers.

Human body can tolerate pressures and injuries to only a very limited extent and not beyond. And industries of the kinds mentioned above are fraught with dangers like:

·      Materials handled or used by the worker may by itself cause injuries.

·      Objects may fall onto or strike the feet.

·      Material/ equipment or object that might roll onto the feet.

·      Any sharp or pointed objects or part of any material/ equipment that might cut the top or bottom of the feet.

·      Exposure to explosive atmospheres including the risk of static electrical discharges with respect to one’s feet.

·      Injuries to the ankle(s) from treading on uneven surfaces or rough terrain as a part of the job.

·      Injuries to the feet from exposure to extreme temperatures, hot or cold.

·      Injuries to the feet from a slip or fall while moving on slippery surfaces as a part of the job.

The dangers and level of injuries may be on the rise with the rise in number, type of industries as also types of jobs undertaken in terms of complexity. Certain industries never present in India about 2 decades back such as Automotives, heavy engineering, dangerous corrosive chemical manufacturing etc have made life of workmen difficult.

Legal sanction, commercial interest and society’s awareness towards human safety have brought to the fore the need for industrial safety of which the workers safety shoes is the most basic and imperative. With its vast spread of industries in terms of types, size and area covered meant an imperative need for safety shoes in Pune. Also, the general profile of workers irrespective of industries and levels therein, in and around Pune and surrounding industrial areas is largely educated meaning they are well aware of their needs and rights.

Safety shoe manufacturers in pune region like Sara Safety have taken this up in right earnest and brought out a range of shoes meant for specific industries. They have not only stopped at manufacture but gone beyond to do research to understand the exact requirement(s) of their client to give them custom made shoes.

In the interest of workmen, it is imperative that industries which have an obvious element of likely harm to humans (more so their workers) employ the services of safety shoe manufacturers to not only produce shoes but to do an entire exercise of industrial foot safety from the time the worker steps into the premises to the time they reach their residence. This, in addition to making life easy for workers can result in less downtime due to injuries and also be a great PR exercise.
