Undocumented safety shoes in the end safe and insecure?

When we talk about labor protection products, we may first think of hard hats, seat belts, and gloves . Safety shoes and protective boots, which are used to protect workers’ feet, are often overlooked. In fact, safety shoes are essential for construction sites to protect the health of workers' feet. Nowadays, many ordinary consumers like to choose safety shoes because of their strong and durable safety shoes. However, in the end safety shoes are not safe, but also because of "shoes".

Functional safety: undocumented products are still flowing into the market

When it comes to safety shoes , not only many consumers are confused, but even some shoe sellers know little about it. In the hand-in-hand and groceries market near Liujiayao in Beijing, the reporter asked three or four shopkeepers in the sales floor of the first floor. The first sentence of the salesperson almost always asked "What safety shoes?" Many sales staff said they had never heard of such shoes, and some simply told reporters that they did not sell them. The reporter then went to a labor insurance shop near Anlelin, Beijing. The reporter saw a large military-like shoe in front of the counter. The shopkeeper told reporters that this kind of safety shoes was actually a safety shoe. The so-called safety shoes , put it plainly is a certain protective function of labor insurance shoes. For example, toe protection, but also insulation, waterproof, anti-puncture, anti-mite, oil and so on.

In Taobao, enter " safety shoes " and you can find 20972 pieces of baby, ranging in price from 30 yuan to 200 yuan. In more than 20,000 products, most of the safety shoes use steel baotou and the upper is made of cowhide. Due to the need of the function, many shoe types may seem heavy, but some merchants have introduced lightweight breathable safety shoes in summer, of course, the price is about 5 times that of the traditional type.

As the name implies, safety shoes are the first to guarantee foot safety. But such a wide variety of safety shoes really are able to do it? Late last year, the Shanghai Quality and Technical Supervision on the quality of the city's production safety shoes were special supervision, spot checks of safety shoes including the protection of safety toe shoes , Anti-puncture safety shoes, anti-static safety shoes, conductive safety shoes, oil-resistant shoe safety shoes, electrical insulation safety shoes, chemical-resistant industrial plastic molded boots, chemical-resistant industrial rubber boots and other 8 products. The results showed that the product pass rate was 100%. At the same time, the Shanghai Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision statistics, as of the end of July 2011, Shanghai has a total of 22 certified production companies.

In fact, safety footwear products are included in the national industrial product production license management products, because of its particularity of use, its production has a set of strict national standards. In the 90s of last century, China established a strict safety shoe production and inspection standard. For example, the protection of toe safety shoes: According to the LD50-94 standard, the safety performance of the inner header is divided into five levels: AN1/AN2/AN3/AN4/AN5. The AN1 is the highest for metallurgy, mining, forestry, port, loading and unloading, mining Stone, machinery, construction, petroleum, chemical industry, etc. In addition, there are some specific standards. According to China's An1 standard, steel heads can resist impact force of 200 Joules (23KG*900mm>15mm) or withstand static pressure of 15KN.

According to a survey by the reporter, it is not that safety shoes can really meet the safety standards. The reporter consulted several shops for safety shoes and found that most sellers stated that the quality of the safety shoes they sold was not a problem. Some of them even promised to return them unconditionally for 7 days. However, for the reporter’s question on production licenses, some brand sellers were able to Take out the relevant vouchers, but some small shops are secretive.

On Taobao, a leather bag safety shoe priced at only 33 yuan was sold in the "Juyuan shop shoes shop." The reporter consulted the seller “Qi Chuanyu” as a consumer: “Does your family’s safety shoes meet national standards?” The seller “Qi Chuanyu” told reporters, “Quality is not a problem”, but he later told reporters that the reporter asked The steel head of this shoe is ordinary, not the national standard. When the reporter once again stated that when some sellers were able to come up with production licenses, the reply of “Qi Chuanyu” made the reporter quite surprised. He said: “A certificate is not necessarily true.”
