We take it for granted and rarely think that it is dangerous but contact with electric current can cause serious injury and or death. Protection from accidental contact with live equipment and conductors is important for those exposed to electrocution risk. Electric shock resistant boots provide protection because their insulating properties stop current from being grounded. Testing to EN 50321 - This European Standard covers electrically insulating footwear for the protection of personnel working on or near electrical installations. Boots are tested to ensure that they can withstand 10,000V without puncturing and also to check that current flow does not exceed 5mA when a 5000V potential is applied. They are certified for use up to 1000V AC and 1500V DC (class 0). The red double triangle symbol identifies the boots. The class (0), batch number and date of manufacture are also stated. Additional properties – Reece Safety 1000V boots are made of Acifort® a blend of nitrile rubber and other high quality chemical resistant materials processed and continuously monitored under strictly controlled conditions. The tread provides good grip with good release properties – important for avoiding build-up of materials like salt contaminated conductive mud. The sole and upper compounds are approved for use in food production facilities. The uppers are white and the soles blue. The steel toecap provides extra protection from impact.
