KNOW THE TASK.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PROTECTION.
From mining and power distribution to manufacturing and logistics: industry-specific hazards, footwear selection criteria and practical checks.
Field Operations and Infrastructure
Mining and Quarrying
Uneven ground, heavy materials and water exposure in underground and open-pit operations.
- Rough ground
- Mechanical protection
- Wet conditions
Energy and Renewable Energy
Installation, operation and maintenance in power plants, wind and solar facilities.
- Outdoor
- Maintenance work
- Task-specific protection
Electricity Distribution and Grid
Accurate definition of electrical risk in distribution lines, transformers and switchyards.
- Electrical insulation
- Moisture and wear
- Document verification
Construction and Infrastructure
Sharp materials and changing surfaces in construction sites, excavations and infrastructure works.
- Risk of puncture
- Water and cement
- Impact protection
Agriculture and Livestock
Businesses where wet areas, open areas and maintenance work are combined.
- Mud and moisture
- Cleaning
- Chemical contact
Industry and Manufacturing
Production and Assembly
Protection and fit throughout shifts on production lines, in workshops and at assembly stations.
- Impact and swarf
- Shift comfort
- Surface compatibility
Metalworking and Foundries
Distinguishing hazards from swarf, heavy parts, hot surfaces and splashes.
- Sharp waste
- Thermal exposure
- Special protection
Chemical and Petrochemical Industries
Product selection that distinguishes between the risk of chemical contact and static charge.
- Chemical compatibility
- Static charge
- Contact time
Automotive and Electronics
Different needs in parts production, assembly and precision electronics.
- ESD-controlled areas
- Assembly ergonomics
- Mechanical protection
Logistics and Services
Food and Beverage Production
Production surfaces that require washing, oily residue and hygiene.
- Wet floor
- Hygiene
- Cleaning compatibility
Logistics and Storage
Extensive walking in ramp, warehouse aisle and loading area.
- Intense movement
- Cargo handling
- Ramp transitions
Port and Maritime
Changing grip conditions on quays, decks and loading areas.
- Metal surfaces
- Weather conditions
- Load operation
Waste Management and Recycling
Sharp waste and contamination in sorting, collection and dismantling works.
- Sharp waste
- Impact risk
- Cleanability
Technical Service and Facility Management
Changing worksites during maintenance, installation and fault response.
- Multi-site
- Maintenance and installation
- Equipment compatibility
Not all protection is the same.
Antistatic and ESD properties are not electrical insulation. Water, oil or heat resistance does not cover all chemical, slip or hot splash risks.
Protection Classes GuideThe final selection is made with the risk assessment of the workplace and the current technical documentation of the model. Industry guides are not a declaration of product conformity.
