Safety shoes

Protective clothing in all its guises is essential to a person’s safety and the smooth running of a business. Employers who cut costs by not providing essential safety wear are essentially putting their business at risk. At the very top of the essential list of safety clothing must be the famous safety boots. The important part in preventing serious injury that these safety shoes provide should not be underestimated. Thousands of people are maimed and even disabled for life as a result of something dropping on their foot and to think these scenarios can be prevented by a relatively cheap selection of footwear really is worth thinking about. Of course there will always be people in whatever field who do not utilise the provided safety gear correctly, ‘its too hot’ etc are familiar comments from these people. We believe a few hours of slight hotness is a lot more preferable than to life on crutches and perhaps relying on disability benefit. The advantages of these safety items are plain for all to see and with our cost being so competitive there really is no reason why a person should be without them. Aside from preventing serious injury these safety measures are strictly enforced by the Health and Safety Executive. If an employee refuses to wear certain pieces of safety gear in the designated areas they can be asked to leave the site or premises and have their work contract revoked. Employers who fail to enforce this rule can face severe financial penalties as well as exposing their employees to unnecessary dangers; again the price is so low there really is no excuse. Please take your time to browse our website in order to find exactly the right products for your particular specifications. We pride ourselves on providing a vast array of safety footwear to a multitude of very diverse sectors, we realise that no two customers are the same and the employer who is looking to equip his builders with safety gear will not necessarily be looking at the same lines as a warehouse manager. We pride ourselves not only on the range of high quality products we supply but also our platinum level of customer service. Whether you are looking for a single pair of safety shoes or a job lot of safety products you can be assured of the highest levels of customer service, simply outline your basic requirements and our experienced sales team will make some recommendations that may be suitable. Of course you are under absolutely no obligation to act upon their recommendations but please bear in mind that they have many years combined experienced and generally know the most appropriate items for the specified environment. People often ask us, ‘Why are you so cheap’? The answer is simple, due to our unique links with the manufacturers and wholesale suppliers we are able to secure our products a lot closer to source and thus alleviate the extra costs incurred by any ‘middle man’ transactions. In our opinion good quality safety gear is as essential as the good quality materials used in the course of a businesses day to day work. Cutting corners on this most vital aspect regarding the welfare and safety and employees could be devastating for your company and for the victim of the accident. There are several well documented cases of company directors being taken to court and tried for a variety offences appertaining to the safety of their employees. The sentences these people receive range from paying a huge amount of money in fines and compensation to a lengthy jail sentence, don’t take the chance. Our experienced team of buyers carefully source the right safety equipment before we make it available to the public, our manufacturers employ some of the most stringent quality control procedures in any sector and if any of the products fail or come below our high standards we reject them immediately. There are some very, very cheap safety shoes on the market but unfortunately these are cheap for a reason, a lack of quality. A lot of these very cheap products are mass produced in the Far East and do not comply with our standards or British Safety Standards as a whole. We would strongly urge you to check the credentials of a potential supplier before parting with any money; substandard safety equipment is nearly as bad as no safety equipment at all. We would also recommend that you contact the supplier or merchandiser prior to ordering to gauge their expertise, do not be taken in by a flashy website, anyone can build one these and they are not necessarily an indicator of a reputable purveyor. One call to us is all will take to assure you that you are dealing with the specialists in our particular field; your call will be greeted with genuine enthusiasm and a willingness to assist. We believe it is this attention to detail which separates us from our competitiors and further cements our position at the very top of our sector.

Safety boots

Safety footwear comes in a range of styles to fit both your personal tastes and your industrial uses. The protection afforded in our range of safety shoes depends on which products are best suited for each sector. For example the degree of safety required for a building site would differ from those required by the employees of a chemical processing plant. Any industry where a slippery floor could be a hazard would require a more specialised sole or an industry with exposed corrosive liquids could require something totally different altogether. Due to growing demand we have managed to secure safety footwear in a trainer style, these products appeal to people for whom walking about and being mobile is a job perquisite. As well as giving the wearer a sporty look they also provide varying degrees of protection depending on what range best suits your particular industry. When one thinks of safety footwear, one usually associates it with big burly men on a building site; this is certainly not the case in reality. We stock a range of styles and sizes which are more than suitable for women and children as well, the majority of our footwear range starts at a size two and moves up to a mighty size twelve, in short we have something for everyone. Ordering your chosen products could not be easier; to make your purchase simply browse our online catalogue and click on any items you wish to buy. The products you order will be placed in a virtual shopping cart and when you have finished click on order. You will then be asked for a few personal details and your safety shoes order will be processed. We accept Visa, Mastercard and certain debit cards; you can provide us with these details via the net, by fax or over the telephone. We will not take payment from your card until the order is in stock and ready to ship. As a forward thinking company we are also in the process of taking steps to improve our online visibility via the leading internet search engines. The proportion of people searching for the products and services they need via the internet are projected to grow significantly in the coming months and years and the steps we are taking are designed to sustain our business well into the 21st century and reach a higher proportion of the internet generation. Soaring fuel prices and parking costs have gone some way in discouraging people to shop in the more traditional ways and enable a new age of consumer to shop from the comfort of their own home or office. Increasing attention to health and safety requirements have resulted in an unprecedented demand for our products in the past few months and we are eager to continue building long term relationships with small to medium sized enterprises and the big nationals alike. If you have a requirement for a significant number of employees and are still attempting to secure quality goods at an affordable price please contact our trade sales team as soon as possible. We are able to provide trade customers with periodical discounts on certain bulk orders from time to time so if you have any requirements please contact us for the latest news, these products range from basic safety shoes to hi-vis clothing and we are sure we have the solution for you. Safety clothing and footwear are not our only area of expertise, we also specialise in providing trekking footwear by household names at a wholesale price. Our buyers are constantly monitoring prices to ensure we stay amongst the most competitive in our particular area, should you find exactly the same product elsewhere at a cheaper price we will do our very best to at least match any genuine quotation. Please note the item for price comparison must be in stock and all the terms and conditions must be identical to our own. This offer does not apply to any specials and also excludes any promotions or seasonal discounts. Common sense and guidance from the Health and Safety Executive is clear, put safety first. Companies or individuals who put short term profit before employee safety are not just endangering their employees but also jeopardising the lives of their families and their own liberty, checks by the authorities are increasing and any offenders are less likely to be let off with a warning for a first offence, some reports state that the financial penalties would be ‘substantial’. ‘Substantial’ in this case does not really seem to imply that a fifty pound fine and a slap on the wrist will be the order of the day, whatever the fine maybe, it would pale in comparison to the costs incurred by the employee/employer in the event of an accident. Safety boots are by far our most popular product as many industry regulations state these safety items must be worn without exception, we believe the prices we offer for these safety shoes represent real value for money and outstanding quality. The reason why the government is cracking down hard on breaches of Health and Safety regulations is partly due to the ever increasing amount of disability claimants; although these people in some ways have perhaps brought the misfortune down on themselves the vast majority have not. Our huge range of high quality safety equipment is very competitively priced and for this reason alone there is no excuse for non compliance of Health and Safety regulations. If you are in the process of setting up a business or merely replenishing your stock of safety equipment we strongly recommend that you bookmark this page and add it to your favourites. To reiterate, we are amongst the UK’s leading suppliers of safety shoes and other safety equipment and are convinced you will not find a more comprehensive range of goods or such a level of customer service anywhere.
