The main risks for a worker in the airport service sector are:

• Extremely wet feet

• Low visibility

• Trauma or compressions in the toe area

The risks are different according to the activity you perform, and so do the type of safety shoes for airport services you should wear.

Security services

Working in security service sector, it’s important for the staff to wear non-metallic safety footwear (toecaps made of composite materials or glass fiber), because the staff will need oftentimes to go through a metal detector. Side-zippers are commonly used, for easy on and off.

Refueling services

The safety footwear for refueling services should have slip-resistant (SRC) soles with protection from hydrocarbons. Safety shoes with rubber soles, PU/PU or PU/TPU, PU/Rubber sole is appropriate in this case.

Offices

Office workers, from time to time, go outside for field work or to carry out controls. Therefore, office workers and/or executives wear safety footwear for airport services. Comfortable executive safety shoes are an ideal choice for wearing all day and in the office too.
