Maritime and offshore operations place demanding requirements on safety footwear. From shipyards and vessel maintenance to offshore platforms, marine engineering and port operations, workers may face wet decks, metal surfaces, changing weather, heavy equipment and prolonged exposure to water and other contaminants.
The right safety footwear needs to provide dependable protection and traction while supporting water resistance, durability, stability and comfort throughout long working shifts.
Where Water Meets the Workplace.
Maritime and offshore workers operate in environments where water, weather and industrial activity often come together. Decks, walkways and working areas can become wet, contaminated or difficult to navigate, while workers may move between vessels, platforms, workshops and exposed outdoor areas.
Safety footwear must perform across these changing conditions while providing the protection and grip needed for demanding marine and offshore work.
Key risks on this worksite
-
01
SLIP & FALL HAZARDS
Wet Decks. Metal Surfaces. Limited Traction. Water, seawater, oil and other contaminants can make decks, gangways and metal surfaces difficult to navigate. Appropriate slip-resistant footwear helps provide traction and stability when working across wet and changing surfaces.
-
02
WATER & MOISTURE EXPOSURE
Constant Contact with Wet Conditions. Marine and offshore work can involve rain, seawater, spray, wet decks and prolonged exposure to moisture. Suitable water-resistant or waterproof footwear can help keep feet drier and more comfortable during extended outdoor work.
-
03
IMPACT & COMPRESSION
Equipment, Materials and Heavy Loads. Shipbuilding, vessel maintenance and offshore operations involve tools, machinery, components and heavy materials that can fall, roll or place loads on the feet. Appropriate toe protection helps reduce the risk of injury from impact and compression hazards.
-
04
OIL, CHEMICAL & SURFACE CONTAMINATION
Contaminated Working Areas. Fuel, lubricants, oils, cleaning agents and other substances may be encountered in marine, shipyard and offshore environments. Footwear should be selected according to the specific substances and exposure conditions, with appropriate outsole and upper properties where required.
From worksite hazards to protection requirements
| Worksite Challenge | What to Look For |
|---|---|
| Marine / Offshore Challenge | Wet decks and metal surfaces |
| Slip Resistance & Traction | Rain, seawater and spray |
| Water Resistance / Waterproofing | Falling or heavy materials |
| Toe Protection | Oil and contaminated surfaces |
| Appropriate Slip & Outsole Properties | Long working shifts |
| Cushioning & Comfort | Repeated contact with equipment |
| Durable Construction | Rough working surfaces |
| Abrasion Resistance | Outdoor and exposed environments |
| Weather Protection | Specific electrical environments |
Technologies designed around the demands of the worksite
Maritime and offshore footwear needs to combine traction, protection, water management, durability and comfort. Our technologies are designed to support different requirements across demanding marine and industrial applications.
Internal toe protection designed to help protect against impact and compression hazards where safety toe protection is required.
An engineered micro-porous microfiber construction designed to help resist water penetration while allowing moisture vapor to escape, supporting a more comfortable footwear microclimate.
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.
