Safety Boots Protection from the toes up Our safety boots offer everything that’s needed to ensure maximum safety for the feet of you and your workforce. These steel toe boots (also known as rigger boots, or simply ‘riggers’) have a strong cap at the front to protect toes from dropped objects, along with a puncture-proof sole. They’re made from durable brown leather and come in an easy pull-on style. What’s more, they’re water resistant, electrically insulating, energy absorbing and antistatic, as well as being insulated against both heat and cold. The sturdy sole is resilient to contact with heat, and slip resistant on slippery surfaces such as ceramic and steel, plus there’s extra protection for the metatarsal area. Of course, our safety boots comply with EN ISO 2034 and Classification S1, meaning they’ve passed rigorous tests to make sure they’re up to the job. And it goes without saying that they’re cosy and comfortable too. Health, Safety & Technical Information: - Conforms to EN ISO 2034 (The requirement for safety footwear, and must have a 200J toecap) - Classification S1 (Requires to meet all basic requirements for safety footwear, as well as closed and energy absorbing seat region, and antistatic.) - Heat 120°C (Insulation against heat) - Slip Rating – SRC (Slip resistant on ceramic surfaces with ‘soap’ and on steel with glycerol) Employees should wear safety boots in environments where there is a chance of injuries to their feet and legs from any of the following hazards: wet flooring, slips, cuts and punctures, falling objects, metal and chemical splash, abrasion, handling heavy items etc. To ensure that you comply with the Personal Protective Equipment regulations, always check with the Health and Safety Executive for current legal requirements. Good for: Any working environment where there is risk of injury to the foot or ankle, including (but not limited to): construction sites, warehouses and factories. How they work: One of the key features of safety boots is their toe cap, designed to protect the toes from injuries, particularly those sustained from falling objects. Toe caps are sometimes also made from aluminium and thermoplastic, but ours are made from good old steel. Our safety boots come with plenty of other protective benefits, including shock absorption, slip-resistance and electrical insulation. Random fact: Rigger boots get their name because they used to be the standard issue footwear for workers on offshore oil rigs. The benefits and durability of the boots became widely known, and these days they are the boot of choice for thousands of construction workers as well as those on the rigs.

Hi-Vis Vests Be seen to stay safe Our hi-vis vests will make your workforce stand out, whatever the weather. We’ve carefully selected these comfortable and practical high-visibility waistcoats and they conform to the latest EN20471: 2013 Class 2 standard. They’re made from 100% lightweight, fast-drying polyester in a dazzling fluorescent yellow, with highly effective, retro-reflective tape. Convenient Velcro fastening makes the vests easy to put on and take off as required, and they’re available in a choice of sizes. Whether your employees work in low lighting, adverse weather conditions or near moving vehicles and machinery, this health and safety staple is an absolute must. Health, Safety & Technical Information: - Conforms to EN20471:2013 Class 2 (Class 2 is intermediate protection level, which means that it is usually in the form of sleeveless waistcoats, tabards, bib and brace trousers, in fluorescent material) - Conforms to EN471 (This states that high visibility clothing is required) - Class 2 – Intermediation protection (Minimum background material of 0.50m2, Minimum retro-reflective material 0.13m2) The 1992 PPE at Work Regulations state that all high visibility clothing should be comfortable and fit the wearer properly, causing minimum restriction of movement. Please bear this in mind when selecting the size of hi-vis vests. Our high-visibility vests are Class 2 so provide intermediate protection; as a general rule, the darker the conditions, the more hi-vis clothing is required. Always check the Health and Safety Executive website to see what protective clothing workers should be wearing in your particular environment. Good for: Any environment in which visibility is low and / or people need to be easily discernible from their background. Examples include construction sites, the manufacturing industry, warehousing and security. How they work: Fluorescent yellow polyester provides a strong contrast against most backgrounds, making wearers highly visible in natural light. Retro-reflective tape ‘bounces back’ light from artificial sources, such as headlamps and street lighting, making wearers stand out in darker environments where artificial light sources are present. Random fact: In 2016, people in the Japanese city of Kitskyushu wanted to raise awareness of the work done by the local civilian crime patrols, who had successfully reduced the rate of crime in the city (which had been one of the country’s highest). They did this by arranging a massive gathering of people in hi-vis vests. 2136 people gathered at the West Japan General Exhibition Centre, making a Guinness World Record for the most people wearing high visibility vests.
