Construction and infrastructure projects bring together heavy equipment, uneven terrain, changing weather conditions and a wide range of workplace hazards. From building sites and civil engineering projects to roads, bridges and large-scale infrastructure works, workers may encounter different risks throughout the same working day.
The right safety footwear needs to provide reliable protection against workplace hazards while supporting stability, comfort, durability and mobility for long hours on site.
Construction Never Happens on One Surface.
Construction workers can move between concrete floors, compacted ground, gravel, steel surfaces, wet areas and uneven terrain throughout the same working day.
At the same time, construction sites may involve falling or rolling objects, sharp debris, slippery surfaces, heavy equipment, prolonged standing and exposure to changing weather conditions.
Key Hazards on this worksite
-
01
IMPACT & COMPRESSION
Falling Objects. Heavy Loads. Serious Foot Hazards. Construction and infrastructure sites involve tools, materials, equipment and structural components that can fall, roll or place heavy loads on the feet. Appropriate toe protection helps reduce the risk of injury from impact and compression hazards.
-
02
PUNCTURE HAZARDS
Sharp Materials Beneath Your Feet. Nails, screws, reinforcement wire, metal fragments and other sharp debris can be present across construction sites. Penetration-resistant footwear can help protect the feet from sharp objects encountered underfoot.
-
03
SLIP HAZARDS
Wet, Contaminated and Unpredictable Surfaces. Water, mud, dust, oil and other contaminants can reduce traction on construction surfaces. Appropriate slip-resistant footwear helps provide grip and stability across changing worksite conditions.
-
04
ROUGH & UNEVEN TERRAIN
Rubble, Gravel and Changing Ground Conditions. Construction workers may move across rubble, gravel, loose ground, compacted soil and other uneven surfaces. Stable footwear with appropriate outsole grip can help support secure movement across demanding terrain.
From worksite hazards to protection requirements
| Worksite Challenge | What to Look For |
|---|---|
| Falling objects | Toe Protection |
| Sharp materials | Puncture Resistance |
| Wet / slippery surfaces | Slip Resistance |
| Uneven terrain | Stability & Grip |
| Long working hours | Cushioning & Comfort |
| Outdoor conditions | Water Resistance / Waterproofing |
| Heavy-duty use | Durable Construction |
| Variable temperatures | Thermal Protection where required |
Technologies designed around the demands of the worksite
Construction footwear needs to balance protection, durability, comfort and mobility. Our technologies are developed to address specific demands across different work environments.
Internal toe protection designed to help protect against impact and compression hazards where safety toe protection is required.
A dual-layer cushioning system designed to help distribute plantar pressure, absorb shock and support comfort during extended periods of standing and walking.
External reinforcement designed to help protect high-wear areas around the toe from repeated abrasion, scuffing and surface wear.
An engineered micro-porous microfiber construction designed to help resist water penetration while allowing moisture vapor to escape, supporting a more comfortable footwear microclimate.
