SECTORAL SELECTION GUIDE

Construction and Infrastructure.

  • Risk of puncture
  • Water and cement
  • Impact protection

Structural work, concrete pouring and interior fitting involve different exposures. Footwear selection must consider the actual task as well as site-wide requirements.

FROM RISK TO PRODUCT SELECTION

What's important?

  • Sharp debris and falling loads

    Assess sole puncture resistance for nails, wire and reinforcement offcuts, and toe protection for falling materials. Removing sharp debris from the site remains a fundamental precaution.

  • Concrete and water contact

    Select task-appropriate equipment that will prevent wet cement from entering the shoe. A water-resistant upper alone should not be considered sufficient for constant water or cement contact.

  • Fit and fastening

    A secure fit and fastening system help keep the foot in place on uneven ground. Try boots with work socks and check heel movement and toe room.

The 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.
