It is important that the footwear selected for wear must be suitable for the protection required and the
working environment. The suitability of the boots for a particular task can only be established once a
full risk-assessment has been carried out.
PRODUCT CARE
The boots should be visually inspected before being worn to check for cuts or abrasions. Damaged
boots will not continue to give the specified level of protection. To ensure that the wearer continues to
receive maximum protection, damaged boots should be replaced immediately.
If the green coloured midsole can be seen coming through the grey rubber sole (except the 6mm
diameter hole in the centre of the heel), this indicates the rubber sole is worn out and the boots should
be replaced immediately.
Please ensure that all strong chemicals or other types of contamination are washed off as soon as
possible. Serious damage may result if certain chemicals, fats & oils are not removed and the footwear
is not cleaned regularly. The boot linings should also be periodically wiped with a cloth using a mild
detergent. Do not expose the boots to temperatures in excess of 50
o
C when washing or drying.
The packaging used for transportation to customers is designed to protect the boots until use.
Storage in extremes of temperature may affect the useful service life of the boots and should be
avoided; recommended storage temperature is 5
o
C to 25
o
C.
