Abstract


The manufacture of safety footwear is subject to a number of mandatory regulations to ensure safety during use. As protective footwear has evolved, a number of tests have been required to ensure that the product fully protects the individual, as required by ergonomic standards (EN ISO 20344). In all workplaces, accidents caused by heavy or massive objects are common for a variety of reasons. In this study, compression tests have been performed on personal protective footwear, including other parameters not included in the testing standards for this type of footwear, such as time and temperature.
