Slip Resistance Sole

Slip resistant soles are one of the most vital elements in safety footwear, also according to the EN ISO 20345 standard every safety footwear must have at least one type of slip resistant sole.

Slipping, tripping and falling are the main causes of accidents on the work floor. They often cause serious injuries to installers, construction workers, plumbers, oil workers and ambulance personnel. This leads often more than three days of absence at work.

According to statistics from HSE and RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013), "slips, trips or falls on same level" account for 33% of non-fatal injuries reported under RIDDOR 2020/21 within the workplace.

While there is some variation in employer-reported accident kinds to employees by industry sector, slips, trips, or falls on the same level is the most common reported non-fatal accident kind across all broad industry sectors in 2020/21.
