ELASTIC-SIDED SAFETY BOOT

Elastic-Sided Boot: Safety and Practicality for the Work Environment

The elastic-sided boot is an essential Personal Protective Equipment (EPI), designed to offer safety and agility in donning and doffing in various professional environments. At Safetline, with 50 years of experience in manufacturing safety footwear in Hortolândia-SP, we understand the need to combine robust protection with practical functionality. This type of footwear is characterized by its side elastic closure system, which eliminates the need for laces, minimizing tripping hazards and facilitating the routine for those who frequently need to remove and put on their EPI.

Who is the Safetline Elastic-Sided Boot For?

Our elastic-sided boots are developed considering the demands of Occupational Safety and Health (SST) managers and purchasing managers in industries seeking efficient and safe solutions for their employees. They are widely used in sectors such as:

• General Industry · Metallurgy, automotive, food, textile, where practicality and protection against impacts and abrasive agents are crucial.
• Civil Construction · For workers who require robust protection and ease of movement.
• Logistics and Warehousing · Where agility in movement and protection against falling objects are constant.
• Services and Maintenance · Professionals who move through different areas and need versatile footwear.
• Hospital and Refrigeration Sector (Linha Branca) · Specific models that combine the practicality of elastic with the need for hygiene and resistance to low temperatures or humidity.

We at Safetline are dedicated to providing footwear that meets the requirements of NR 6, ensuring that each elastic-sided boot offers the necessary protection for the worker's physical integrity.

Technical Attributes and Essential Protection

Choosing a Safetline elastic-sided boot means investing in footwear that incorporates high-quality technology and materials to ensure safety. Our models are designed with a focus on crucial protective attributes, in accordance with EN ISO standards:

• Safety Toe Cap (SB) · Essential for protecting feet against impacts of up to 200 Joules, present in all our safety boots.
• Slip Resistance (SRC) · Our outsoles, such as Falcon PU/PU and Falcon PU/TPU, are developed to offer maximum grip on ceramic floors with detergent and steel with glycerol, significantly reducing the risk of falls.
• Water Penetration Resistance (WRU) · Water-repellent materials that prevent water penetration, keeping feet dry and comfortable in humid environments.
• Fuel Oil Resistance (FO) · Outsoles that resist contact with oils and petroleum derivatives, protecting the user in industrial environments.
• Metatarsal Impact Protection (M) · In specific models, we offer additional protection for the metatarsal area, vital in areas with a risk of falling heavy objects.

The elastic closure not only provides practicality but also ensures a firm and secure fit to the foot, preventing the footwear from coming loose during activities.

Elastic-Sided Boot Options in the Safetline Line

We offer a range of elastic-sided boots that adapt to different needs and work environments. Although the main characteristic is the elastic, each line has particularities that make it ideal for a specific use:

• Linha Miura (Nobuck) and Miura Gran Luxo (Vaqueta) · For environments that demand durability, superior comfort, and a premium finish, with the practicality of elastic. Ideal for supervisors, engineers, and administrative areas that also move through production.
• Linha Evolution (Light Microfiber) · Lightweight and comfortable footwear, often with the option of elastic closure, ideal for environments that demand hygiene and lightness, such as the food industry or assembly areas.
• Linha Branca (Refrigeration/Hospital) · Developed specifically for humid, cold environments that require high asepsis. Our elastic-sided boots from this line combine ease of donning with materials resistant to water and chemical agents, in addition to anti-slip outsoles (SRC) for slippery floors.

We are proud to offer high-performance outsoles, such as Falcon PU/PU and Falcon PU/TPU, which ensure cushioning, flexibility, and abrasion resistance, contributing to the comfort and longevity of the footwear.

Certification and Compliance with NRs and EPI

Safety is non-negotiable for us at Safetline. All our footwear, including elastic-sided boots, possess a Certificate of Approval (CA) issued by the Ministry of Labor and Employment, attesting to their compliance with Brazilian Regulatory Standards (NRs), especially NR 6, which deals with Personal Protective Equipment. We guarantee that every pair of elastic-sided boots we produce has undergone rigorous quality and safety tests, ensuring that the EPI delivers the promised protection.

Recommendation for Use and Maintenance

To ensure the maximum effectiveness and durability of our elastic-sided boots, we recommend that the model selection be made based on a detailed analysis of the risks present in the work environment. It is fundamental to consider specific hazards (impact, perforation, slipping, chemical agents, temperature) to select footwear with the appropriate protective attributes. Furthermore, correct maintenance, including proper cleaning and storage, is crucial to preserve safety characteristics and extend the lifespan of the EPI. We at Safetline are available to assist in choosing the ideal footwear for your team, offering specialized consultation to meet your safety needs.
