So what do all those S numbers on safety footwear mean ?

When it comes safety footwear there is a rating system but what does it mean:

Remember under Uk Law (Personal protective equipment at work regs 1992) an employer is responsible the right equipment for the right job. So it is helpful to understand Ppe safety ratings

S5 turn: 200 joule toecap. All rubber or all Polymeric footwear with antistatic properties. Energy absorption of seat region. Resistance to fuel oil. Penetration resistance cleated outsole

S4 safety footwear rating turn As before with s1>s3 A 200 Joules toecap. All rubber or all polymer footwear with antistatic properties. Energy absorption of seat region. Resistance to fuel oil.

S3 on your safety boots. Well once again 200 joules toecap they all have in fact.fully enclosed heel. Antistatic properties. Energy absorption of seat region. Resistance to fuel oil. Water penetration and absorption of the upper. Penetration resistance. Cleated outsole

So what does S2 mean on Safety footwear: 200 joules toecap protection fully enclosed heal, Antistatic property's energy absorption seat region,resistance to fuel oil. Water penetration and absorption of the upper

Safety footwear come in different rating S1 To S5 PPE S1= 200 Joule toe cap protection' closed seat region (Fully enclosed hell) Anti static propertys, Energy Absorption of seat region. Resistance to fuel oil S1 offer basic protection
