Your safety footwear will be marked with one or more symbols from the table to indicate additional characteristics to the basic safety requirements. Instead of being marked by symbols the footwear may carry one of the following codes which summarises the safety footwear classifications:
| SB | Basic safety requirements - with a 200 J toe cap | |
| S1 | Closed heel area - antistatic properties - Energy absorption in heel area (includes SB+E+A) | |
| S3 | Combination of S1 features plus water penetration & absorption plus puncture resistance (includes SB+E+A+WRU+P). |
Identification & Selection of Suitable Footwear
The selection of suitable footwear must be made according to the specific needs of the job, types of hazards encountered and the working conditions. Check before starting the job that the footwear is appropriate for how it will be used.
