Reduce slip-ups February 1st 2008 In many working environments,
wearing appropriate footwear can
have a dramatic effect on helping to
prevent slips and trips.
Arco has a team of product and
business sector specialists who can
give expert advice on the correct
selection and use of safety footwear
for all working environments.
Roy Bedford, an Arco footwear
product specialist,explains, "When
preventive measures such as keeping
floors obstacle-free, clean and
dry, and having a continuous floor
surface have been put into place as
far as is practically possible, the last
line of defense is PPE (i.e. safety
footwear).However, before buying,
certain factors should be taken into
consideration. Different industries
and applications require different
features, depending on the hazard."
Arco offers 100+ safety footwear
styles including brands like Dr.
Martens,Timberland,Dunlop and
CAT,and its own-brand footwear,
most of which conform to the slipresistant
requirements of BS EN 1S0
