Safety Footwear

Must be applied at all locations

• When selecting safety footwear, it is important that you select a pair that is both comfortable and meets Morgan Sindall’s minimum standard which is EN ISO 20345 S3 Class (or S5 for wellington boots).
• Class S3 and S5 footwear has mid sole protection which prevent objects such as nails and other sharp objects penetrating the sole. They also have toe caps that offer a high level of protection against external impact and dropped objects.
• Footwear in safety Class S3 or S5 also has oil and petrol resistant soles, are slip resistant, and anti-static.
• Don’t assume that a well-known brand meets the Morgan Sindall minimum standard. Check the label and ensure it makes reference to ISO 20345 - S3 or S5.
• Safety Footwear should be replaced;
• When the protective toecap can be seen through the leather
• When the upper starts to separate from the sole (or leaks)
• If the sole splits
• If the sole wears to the point where the tread is no longer functioning
• Always ensure your safety footwear provides adequate ankle support, fits correctly and has been correctly selected for the task.
