Giasco safety shoes with dielectric soles are ideal PPE for electricians and maintenance workers in the electrical sector.
The PPE Regulation (EU 2016/425) establishes the manufacturing methods for personal protective equipment to ensure that it is safe and suitable for its declared use, thereby reducing risks and protecting against accidents in the workplace.
In fact, Giasco shoes with dielectric soles, when combined with appropriate clothing and other insulating PPE, guarantee optimal protection against electric shock, without compromising on comfort.
Three levels of insulation provided by the tread, anti-perforation insulating fabric insert and insole ensure comfort and protection with every step and even when standing still.
Giasco safety footwear models with dielectric soles meet everyone's needs: for outdoor environments, such as the Thomson 3C060D high-top shoe or the new breathable and lightweight model from the 3Run Electro line with triple-injection soles and special Hard Rock soles with dual-density dielectric soles and rubber treads that are resistant even to high temperatures.
These are models of footwear for electricians and maintenance workers, but also for those working in the renewable energy sector and increasingly in the e-mobility sector: from electric car manufacturers to battery and charging station manufacturers, to maintenance workers and mechanics.
To ensure maximum protection from electrical hazards, it is important that the sole is not excessively worn and that the footwear has not been exposed to damp and wet environments. It is also necessary to ensure that work footwear is not contaminated with conductive materials. For example, soles can collect metal shavings, etc., which can reduce the effectiveness of the protection.
Giasco safety footwear with dielectric soles is intended as protective equipment against secondary sources and not for live working; it is tested in accordance with the test method established in ASTM F2412-18.
