Safety Boots because you won’t grow new toes
Some of the most commonplace injuries in the workplace are those caused by slips and falls. On average across all sectors in 2019, The Irish Health and Safety Authority say that 24% of all reported injuries were due to slip, trip, and falls. The UK Authority report even grimmer statistics, with 37% of all reported workplace injuries and 28% of all fatalities in the workplace being attributed to slipping, tripping, or falling. We need to get a grip. No matter what work you are doing, inside or out, wearing the right equipment for the job will reduce the risk of injury and any resulting loss of income. Farmers and construction workers continue to rank highly in the statistics of those who have suffered physical damage at work. Anything from having a tractor drive over your toes to dropping a hammer can mean excruciating pain and a slow recovery. Safety boots make complete sense for the working man or woman. The safety boot offers protection from punctures, cuts, burns and impact and so much more. A good safety boot will give grip when walking on slippery or uneven surfaces, helping to prevent slips and falls which can lead to more serious problems such as broken bones and head injuries. Steel caps and gripping soles may well mean the difference between a slight mishap and a serious injury.

As we hear more and more in the media about self-care and looking after yourself and sure they might well mean Botox and massages, but in truth, you could not give more self-care than wrapping your two precious feet in safety footwear before you head to a day’s work, they are the only feet you have. Pop in and try the range we have here and walk away happy.
