Why Do I Need Anti-Static Footwear?
When you're working with and around machinery and devices, there's always the possibility of build-up of static electricity which can be dangerous. Footwear with anti-static capabilities effectively channels static electricity away from your body, directing it safely through the shoe's inner sole, lining, and outer sole into the earth.
Why Do I Need Hydrocarbon Resistance?
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds comprised solely of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Shoes that are resistant to hydrocarbons offer essential protection when you're working with or around chemicals. Such footwear guards against the risks of skin irritations, allergic reactions, infections, and chemical burns, particularly when chemical leaks or spills occur.
