Frequently asked questions
What does Adalis' Foot and Leg Protection category cover?
At Adalis, we know that safety doesn't end at the ankle.
Foot and leg protection encompasses any Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to protect these extremities from mechanical hazards (falling objects, chainsaw cuts), thermal hazards (molten metal splashes), chemical hazards, and electrical hazards. This includes everything from professional footwear to accessories such as knee pads and protectors.
When it comes to foot and leg protection, how do I choose between safety, protective, and work footwear?
The choice depends on the level of impact that the equipment must withstand. The standard classifies this foot and leg protection into three levels according to the resistance of the toe cap:
• Safety Footwear (S): The highest standard, withstands impacts of 200 joules and compression of 15 kN.
• Protective Footwear (P): Resists impacts of up to 100 joules.
• Work Footwear (O): Does not have impact-resistant toe caps, but protects against other hazards (slip, moisture) within the range of foot and leg protection.
Do foot and leg protections include equipment for working on your knees?
Yes, many jobs require spending time on the ground, and leg protection includes knee pads. These protect the knee when kneeling and are classified according to their resistance to penetration by objects on the ground.
How does wear and tear affect my foot and leg protection equipment?
When assessing the risks of your job, think about the whole concept of foot and leg protection. If you protect your foot with a steel toe cap (200J) but work with welding and sparks that burn your shin or pants, your protection is incomplete.
At Adalis, we advise you and help you cover the entire exposed area, from the sole to the knee.
What foot and leg protection regulations apply if I use a chainsaw?
Conventional footwear is not sufficient to protect against the risk of chain saw cuts. You should look for certified foot and leg protection equipment. This specific footwear incorporates resistant fibers that slow down the chain in case of accidental contact, protecting the instep and upper part of the boot (leg).
