FAQs

What is the difference between safety shoes and non-slip shoes? ›

Slip resistant safety shoes differ from non-slip rated shoes as their soles are typically made of rubber or similar materials, and their unique tread patterns can better grip wet, slick or oily floors which result in a much more stable work environment.

Is anti slip the same as non-slip shoes? ›

Non-slip and slip resistant are terms that are used interchangeably. Whilst the features of slip-resistant shoes mitigate the chance of a slip or fall, they cannot guarantee protection all of the time.

Are safety shoes anti slip? ›

An anti slip shoe is a type of safety shoes. As the name suggests, anti slip work shoes help prevent wearers from slipping, tripping and falling on wet or oily surfaces. As per DOSH Sirim PPE Regulations, a proper safety shoe has to have the ability to protect the wearer against slippery surfaces.

Can I make my shoes anti slip? ›

Sprays. Another easy, and potentially extremely affordable, way to make boots less slippery is to use spray-on coatings. You can either purchase a 'grip spray' which you simply lightly cover the entire sole of the shoe to add a tackiness, or you can use hair spray which will, more or less, do the same job.

Does OSHA require non-slip shoes? ›

Safety toe protective footwear must be worn at all times regardless of the presence of a hazard; and the safety toe protective footwear must meet the following requirements - leather uppers, oil resistant and non-skid soles, and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F2413-05 with an impact resistance rate ...

How can I tell if a shoe is slip resistant? ›

In short, a slip-resistant shoe should have a high-quality, rubber-like outsole with deep grooves that grips well on wet or oily surfaces. The tread's grooves allow the shoe to grip the ground without trapping a wet substance beneath it, allowing you to feel safe all day without slipping and sliding.

What shoes prevent slips trips and falls? ›

Flat-soled shoes help reduce slips and falls by maximizing the surface area in contact with the floor and minimizing the risk of catching or tripping on a stair tread. For example, shoes with a two-inch raised heel reduce contact with the floor by 40%.

What is the OSHA standard for slip resistance? ›

5) is as follows: "The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends that walking surfaces have a static coefficient of friction of 0.5." Together, OSHA's rulemaking proposal and the reference in ADAAG probably account for the attribution of a 0.5 COF to OSHA.

How do I choose slip resistant shoes? ›

Choose shoes with a deep tread or an interlocked tread pattern. These patterns will help to provide traction on slippery surfaces. Make sure the shoes fit well and are comfortable to wear. You will be wearing them for long periods of time, so it is important that they are comfortable.

What are the disadvantages of safety shoes? ›

Common Problems With Safety Footwear
  • Incorrect shoe type for the application.
  • Poor fitting width or toe cap.
  • Footwear feels very heavy to walk around in all day.
  • Incorrect sole material not giving the needed properties (i.e. anti-static or anti-slip)
  • Lack of foot support in shoes contributing towards knee and back problems.

What is the difference between protective footwear and safety shoes? ›

Safety or work shoes are Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed and manufactured to protect the worker's feet from various risks: mechanical (slipping, impact, compression, puncture, cutting etc.), chemical (contact with hydrocarbons, mineral oils etc.), physical (moisture, water, heat, cold etc.)

What is slip on safety shoes? ›

One of the main advantages of slip-on safety shoes is that they are easy to put on and take off, which can save time and reduce the risk of injury caused by bending down to tie laces. They are also ideal for workers who need to remove their shoes frequently, such as in clean rooms or sterile environments.

Does hairspray stop shoes slipping? ›

Hairspray is another quick and easy way to make shoes non-slip. It contains a chemical solvent to make the outsole tackier, increasing traction. While hairspray can be a good temporary fix, it can be messy and may not be the most effective way to add traction during wet conditions as it rinses off easily.

Is there a difference between slip-resistant and non-slip? ›

It's important to identify what “slip-resistant” shoes are and how they differ from those referred to as “non-slip.” While often used interchangeably, no shoe can be entirely “non-slip.” “Slip-resistant” is a more accurate term, as it implies the shoe can reduce the risk of slipping, not eliminate it.

What is considered a safety shoe? ›

Safety shoes or boots must have a leather upper, non-skid soles, oil resistance and impact and compression resistance ratings of 75. The shoes must also have built-in toe caps to meet requirements.

What do you use safety shoes for? ›

Safety shoes offer protection from punctures, cuts, burns, heavy impact and more. Safety boots also offer 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.

When should you wear safety shoes? ›

Safety shoes are a must have staple to the outfit of anybody dealing with hazardous materials, heavy objects, or any environment in which your feet might be at risk of being injured.
