Slip Resistance Is Vital For PPE

SLIP-RESISTANT SOLE EXPERTS

As a company that deals with safety footwear, we need to consider a number of factors. Anti-slip soles, however, are one of the most important parts of safety shoes, also according to EN ISO 20345, all safety shoes must have at least one type of non-slip sole.

Slides travel, and falls are the main causes of accidents at work. They often cause serious injuries to installers, construction workers, plumbers, oil tankers, and ambulance personnel. This usually results in more than three days of absence from work.

Safety Jogger offers a wide range of shoes with soles that far exceed the generally applicable European standards of slip resistance. As a result, you minimize the risk of tripping or slipping on a slippery surface.

Working with crew shoes, a leader in the safety industry with its revolutionary non-slip soles, allows us to make the best of both worlds out of safety shoes.

SRA, SRB & SRC - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Almost all Safety Jogger products are equipped with SRC-certified anti-slip soles, which means that the slip resistance of the soles has been tested on ceramic tiles moistened with a dilute soap solution and on a smooth steel plate. with glycerol. Safe Jogger soles briefly pass both tests and not only meet the minimum standards (SRA / SRB), but significantly exceed them.

Be sure to know the level of slip resistance underfoot, accidents are expensive! All Safety Jogger products are tested in laboratory conditions to achieve anti-slip. However, there are shoes labeled “non-slip” or “better grip” that have not been officially tested. You can be 100% sure that safety shoes do not slip by determining the SRA, SRB, or SRC slip rating.

SRA

SRA slip-resistant soles are tested on a ceramic tile wetted with a dilute soap solution

SRB

SRB slip-resistant soles are tested on smooth steel with glycerol

SRC

SRC slip-resistant soles pass both SRA and SRB slip resistance tests.

LABORATORY TESTS FOR SLIP-RESISTANT SOLES

It is important to understand the performance of the soles in terms of slip resistance. Non-slip sole testing is the science of measuring the coefficient of friction (or slip resistance) of floor surfaces. A reliable and carefully studied method of friction testing (in interlaboratory tests) must be used to assess non-slip soles, and a minimum safety criterion is required to apply the results.

The first Safety Jogger research on non-slip soles dates back to the 90s, where we conducted studies with bare hands and simple test devices.

Meanwhile, over the years, our test facilities, along with the brand, have become high-quality laboratories in which we monitor the latest changes in safety standards and always try to meet or exceed them when possible. that is possible. It is the result of continuous investment in innovation, extensive product testing at all stages, and the knowledge of our team.
