ELASTIC-SIDED SAFETY BOOT

Elastic-Sided Safety Boot: Safety and Practicality for the Work Environment

The elastic-sided safety boot is an essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) item, designed to offer safety, speed, and ease when donning and doffing in various professional environments. At Safetline, with 50 years of experience manufacturing safety footwear in Hortolândia-SP, we understand the need to combine robust protection with practical functionality. This type of footwear is characterized by its elastic side-gore closure system, which eliminates the need for laces, minimizing tripping hazards and streamlining the routine of workers who need to frequently remove and put on their PPE.

Who is the Safetline Elastic-Sided Safety Boot For?

Our elastic-sided safety boots are developed with the demands of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) managers and procurement managers in mind, catering to industries seeking efficient and safe solutions for their workforce. They are widely used in sectors such as:

• General Industry · Metallurgy, automotive, food processing, and textile industries, where practicality and protection against impacts and abrasive agents are crucial.
• Civil Construction · For workers requiring robust protection and ease of movement.
• Logistics and Warehousing · Where quick mobility and protection against falling objects are constant requirements.
• Services and Maintenance · Professionals moving across different areas who need versatile footwear.
• Hospital and Cold Storage Sectors (White Line) · Specific models that combine the convenience of elastic sides with the need for hygiene and resistance to low temperatures or humidity.

We at Safetline are dedicated to providing footwear that complies with NR 6 requirements, ensuring that every elastic-sided safety boot offers the necessary protection to safeguard the physical integrity of the worker.

Technical Features and Essential Protection

Choosing a Safetline elastic-sided safety boot means investing in footwear that incorporates technology and high-quality materials to guarantee safety. Our models are designed with a focus on crucial protective attributes, according to EN ISO standards:

• Safety Toe Cap (SB) · Essential to protect feet against impacts up to 200 Joules, featured in all our safety boots.
• Slip Resistance (SRC) · Outsoles developed to provide maximum grip on ceramic tile floors with detergent and steel floors with glycerol, significantly reducing the risk of falls.
• Water Penetration and Absorption Resistance (WRU) · Water-resistant materials that prevent water penetration, keeping feet dry and comfortable in damp environments.
• Fuel Oil Resistance (FO) · Outsoles that resist contact with fuel oil and petroleum derivatives, protecting the user in industrial settings.
• Metatarsal Protection against Impact (M) · In specific models, we offer additional protection for the metatarsal area, which is vital in zones where there is a risk of falling heavy objects.

The elastic-sided closure not only provides convenience but also ensures a firm, secure fit to the foot, preventing the footwear from coming loose during work activities.

Certification and Compliance with NRs and PPE

Safety is non-negotiable for us at Safetline. All our footwear, including elastic-sided safety boots, holds a Certificate of Approval (CA) issued by the Ministry of Labor and Employment, certifying compliance with Brazilian Regulatory Standards (NRs), particularly NR 6 regarding Personal Protective Equipment. We ensure that every pair of elastic-sided safety boots we produce undergoes rigorous quality and safety testing, guaranteeing that the PPE delivers its promised protection.

Usage and Maintenance Recommendations

To ensure maximum effectiveness and durability of our elastic-sided safety boots, we recommend selecting the model based on a detailed risk assessment of the workplace environment. It is essential to consider specific hazards (impact, puncture, slip, chemical agents, temperature) to select footwear with the appropriate protective attributes. Furthermore, proper maintenance—including cleaning and suitable storage—is crucial to preserve protective features and extend the service life of the PPE.
