Product Information

Wear clothing that fits well. Loose clothing or accessories can get caught in a tool’s moving parts, which could result in dire consequences.

Safety trainers appear just like regular trainers, and, while they deliver the same standards of safety as their shoe or boot counterparts, their fit is often wider and more flexible. This appeals to those who dislike traditional safety shoes and prefer the trainer style for all day wear. Here at Cromwell, we have a wide range of men's and women's safety trainers from leading brands such as Puma®, Dunlop® and 3M™. Toe fitting - toes should have wriggle room with a comfortable space between them and the safety toecap. DURABLE PU SOLE: Dual density PU/PU sole that is resistant to fuel oil, so it won't degrade, stain, or retain grease that would otherwise cause slips and trips When in control of a hand or power tool, it is your responsibility to do everything in your power to keep you and the environment safe. That means wearing visors, gloves, goggles with anti-fogging coatings, vented respirators, face masks made of premium cushion materials and ear muffs with soft ear cups.

Like other types of Personal Protection Equipment, safety trainers are required where a risk assessment has identified a potential hazard, which may cause accidents or injury to workers. Safety toecaps and mid-sole protection is a requirement for areas of construction and skilled trades, such as plumbers, electricians, and plasterers. While delivery drivers and couriers favour the comfort that safety trainers provide while driving. Having tools with excellent durability is extremely important. Not only will it mean you will not have to spend out on replacement tools when they break prematurely, but because tougher tools will do a better job. Sometimes cheaper ones can appear to work great until wear and damage suddenly make them unusable, and you are left unable to complete your task. This will lead to an extended work period as you will have to go out and buy a replacement. If you use that tool as part of your profession, it could mean the difference between hitting your deadline or not. No matter what kind of job you have or how you’re using the equipment, make sure your tools can stand up to the task in the first place. Nowadays, top brands offer work boots in a whole array of colours and designs to give more options to the buyer, as well as doing a fantastic job at keeping your feet safe while you are working. Cheap / Off brand Power Tools Cheap drill bits do not cut well when they are brand new and don’t cut cleanly either. It will make the job slower and more difficult. It can be challenging to identify if a cheap drill bit is doing a good job because they can work great on lighter materials. Once you go to use it on the heavier stuff, however, you will run into an array of issues that will frustrate you. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) EN ISO 20345:2011 is not as complicated to understand as it first appears, and it specifies the basic/additional safety footwear requirements to meet the standard.

Finding a trustworthy brand can be a big undertaking, and when you are faced with lots of recommended companies, the search can feel daunting. Some manufactures cater to different areas of the workforce, and not all brands offer all the tools in every field. First, you need to ask yourself if the brand you have chosen can provide you with the tools you need now, and the ones you will need in the future. Of course, you could buy from multiple brands, but that will require more research that takes up valuable time. Fitting - a good fit is essential for a safety shoe to perform correctly and protect against injury, while it's also a must to avoid health issues such as corns or bunions. Insole - often features support technology to protect the arch and is mostly removable so the end-user can customise.Power tools can sell for a decent price, which has opened up the doors to cheap and fake tools coming onto the market to maximise profit. The issues we have with such tools are that they may not provide the power needed to complete the job given. Also, many of them are made with flimsy materials that could fall apart easily with the vibrations of usage. The best-case scenario is that the tool will stop working, but in the worst case, they can explode, burst into flame or shatter over the user. When working at heights, never leave tools lying out in the areas where they could present a hazard to the people below.
