At present, the more common protective shoes include safety; shoes, insulating shoes, anti-static and conductive shoes, steel-making shoes and shoe covers, cold shoes, etc., as well as sole insulation suitable for road workers, suitable for construction workers sole reinforcement , Suitable for food, brewers, shoes, moisture-proof shoes, etc. The function of the protective shoes is mainly set for the working environment and conditions, and generally has the functions of anti-slip, anti-piercing, anti-squeezing, and the other has a specific function, such as anti-conductive, anti-corrosion and the like.1. The safety footwear market has been left outIf people don’t wear safety helmets, when they suffer accidental injury, the head is injured by a mole. It is very likely to cause serious injury or even death, but no protective shoes will be worn. In contrast, the damage will be much lighter. It rarely jeopardizes life. It is also for this reason that wearing protective shoes correctly is often overlooked by workers. According to Luo Baihui, operation supervisor of Dongguan Knight Safety Shoes Factory, a colleague went to the construction site and found that many workers wear shoes or even slippers. According to regulations, workers at construction sites must wear protective toe safety shoes in accordance with work needs to avoid crushing hard objects and metal objects to injure the feet.Lack of supervision is also one of the reasons why foot protection is not in place. Luo Baihui said what kind of shoes workers should wear, what kind of protective shoes they need to wear, this work lacks supervision. Some companies have security personnel to inspect, but their strength is often not enough, or the security staff can not find the workers' protective shoes are not qualified. Some workers believe that uniforms and shoes and hats are only used for uniform dress, or a kind of welfare, and some labor protection supplies are indeed not adapted to the needs of modern production, resulting in long-term neglect of labor protection products, especially It is used for protection of hands and feet which are not related to the safety of life.It is understood that, for a long time, the labor protection product industry has been insufficiently invested and slow in development compared with other high-tech industries. Some companies produce high-tech, high-standard products for export. A person responsible for the production of protective equipment said that they are not reluctant to sell products in the domestic market, but are limited to domestic companies investing less in labor protection products, and insufficient enforcement of relevant national laws and regulations.Luo Baihui pointed out that one issue that restricts the development of protective footwear in China is the cost of shoes. In view of the current background, the price that can be accepted by enterprises that purchase protective shoes is generally low, and the low price also determines the cost of the product, resulting in the quality of inexpensive protective shoes cannot pass through.2. The new standard promotes protective shoes “change face”In fact, China’s step-by-step approach to international standards in labor protection supplies has not stopped. As early as 1988, the former National Standardization Technical Committee for Labor Protection provided a standard system for labor protection articles. However, due to multiple changes in the organization, the revision of standards for labor protection supplies did not reach the expected target. At present, China has formulated and promulgated a series of national and industrial standards for labor protection products. However, some national standards are still being developed.Regarding the standard of protective shoes, in December 2005, four national standards drafted (revision) drafted and presided over by the Wuhan Institute of Safety and Environmental Protection of Sinosteel Group passed the validation. These four standards are "Personal protective equipment - Test methods for shoes". "Personal protective equipment - safety shoes" "Personal protective equipment - protective shoes" and "Personal protective equipment - professional shoes", covers the national quality testing methods and specific quality standards as important labor protection articles - footwear .According to Luo Baihui, the new standards for the above four protective footwear have been completed in 2006. The "Personal Protective Equipment - Test Methods for Shoes" will be formally implemented in February 2008. Compared with the original standard, these four standards have undergone great changes, mainly reflected in the relatively simple features of the shoes as stipulated in the original standards. However, due to the complexity of the workplace, the protective shoes are required to have multiple functions. The standard has added more features for this purpose. In the original standard, in addition to the "General Technical Conditions for Electrically Insulating Shoes," the rest of the standards will be replaced by new standards.
