What Do These Standards Mean?
- EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P
- "S" indicates that the footwear is intended for general use and offers basic protection.
- "1" specifies that the footwear has toe protection. It can be either a steel toe cap or a composite toe cap designed to protect against impacts.
- "P" indicates that the footwear has a puncture-resistant sole. The sole is designed to provide protection against sharp objects penetrating through the sole, such as nails or other sharp debris.
Therefore, EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P signifies that the footwear meets the European safety standards for general use, including toe protection and a puncture-resistant sole.

Why Should I Wear Metal-Free Shoes?
Metal-free shoes, also known as non-metallic shoes, are required in certain work environments for several reasons:
- Security and Safety Checks: In some high-security areas, such as airports, government facilities, or certain industrial sites, metal detectors or X-ray machines are used for security checks. Metal-free shoes are necessary to pass through these security checkpoints without triggering alarms or requiring additional screening. This helps to streamline the security process and maintain efficient operations.
- Electrical Hazard Protection: Metal components in footwear can conduct electricity, which can pose a risk in electrical work environments. Metal-free shoes eliminate the risk of electrical conductivity, reducing the potential for electric shocks or electrical accidents. These shoes are often made with non-conductive materials like composite toe caps or fiberglass shanks.
- Non-Magnetic Environments: In some industries or research settings, non-magnetic conditions are essential, such as in medical imaging facilities (MRI rooms) or laboratories working with sensitive magnetic equipment. Metal-free shoes are necessary to prevent interference with sensitive instruments and maintain the integrity of test results or imaging equipment.
- Lightweight and Comfort: Metal-free shoes are typically lighter in weight compared to shoes with metal components. This can provide increased comfort and reduce fatigue for workers who need to be on their feet for extended periods. Additionally, non-metallic footwear often offers better flexibility and improved ergonomic design.
- Heat and Cold Insulation: Metal-free shoes may offer better insulation against temperature extremes. Metal components can transfer heat or cold, potentially causing discomfort or temperature-related injuries. Non-metallic shoes can provide better thermal insulation, keeping the feet more comfortable in hot or cold environments.
Who Can Use the Portwest Compositelite Trainers?
Safety trainers should be worn in various work environments where there is a potential risk of foot injuries. Here are some common scenarios where safety trainers are typically worn:

- Warehouses and Logistics: In warehouses and logistics settings, safety trainers are worn to protect against potential hazards such as heavy objects, rolling equipment, and potential foot injuries due to handling and moving materials.
- Manufacturing and Industrial Settings: Workers in manufacturing and industrial facilities often wear safety trainers to safeguard their feet from machinery, falling objects, electrical hazards, and various potential workplace hazards.
- Maintenance and Repair Work: Safety trainers are essential for maintenance and repair workers who may encounter sharp objects, slippery surfaces, and other potential hazards while performing their tasks.
- Engineering and Construction Inspections: Safety trainers can also be worn by engineers and construction inspectors during site visits or inspections to ensure their safety when they are in potentially hazardous areas.
