Listen to manufacturers talk about: When should labor safety shoes be scrapped?

The timing of the scrapping of labor safety shoes is not unchanged, but needs to be judged according to a variety of factors. Here are some key factors to determine when safety shoes should be scrapped:

First, appearance and structure inspection

Cracks and deformation: When the labor safety shoes appear obvious cracks, deformation or discoloration, these signs indicate that the shoes have been seriously damaged and can no longer provide effective protection, and should be scrapped in time.

Wear and perforation: serious wear and perforation of the sole or upper will weaken the protective performance of the shoe and increase the safety risk during work, so it also needs to be scrapped.

Second, functional inspection

Protection performance: The functions of non-slip, stab-proof and anti-smashing of labor safety shoes are their core values. If these functions can not be used normally due to wear, aging and other reasons, the shoes will lose their due protective effect, should be replaced in time.

Insulation performance (for specific types of safety shoes) : For safety shoes that require insulation performance, insulation performance tests should be conducted regularly. If the test results are not qualified, it indicates that the shoe can no longer provide effective insulation protection and should be scrapped immediately.

Third, service life and working environment

General service life: The service life of labor safety shoes is usually 6-12 months, but this is not absolute. The actual service life will be affected by many factors such as the working environment, the intensity of use, the material and quality of the shoes.

Working environment factors: in harsh working environments, such as chemical plants, electroplating workshops and other corrosive places, the service life of labor safety shoes will be greatly shortened. As a result, workers working in these environments need to check and change their shoes more frequently.

Fourth, personal use habits and maintenance

Usage habits: Correct usage habits can extend the service life of labor safety shoes. For example, avoid wearing the same pair of shoes for long periods of time to reduce wear and fatigue; Keep shoes dry and clean to avoid the growth of bacteria and mold.

Maintenance: Regular maintenance is also the key to extend the service life of labor safety shoes. For example, wash shoes with water or disinfectant and dry them; Avoid using chemical solvents as cleaning agents to avoid damaging the material of the shoes.

Fifth, scrap process

For the labor safety shoes that need to be scrapped, they should be processed in accordance with the scrapping process stipulated by the enterprise. This usually includes steps such as inspecting and assessing the condition of the shoes, carrying out clear end-of-life marking, selecting appropriate end-of-life disposal methods (e.g. recycling, safe incineration, etc.), and recording and counting end-of-life information.

In summary, the scrapping time of labor safety shoes needs to be judged according to multiple factors such as appearance and structural inspection, functional inspection, service life and working environment, personal use habits and maintenance, and scrapping process. Enterprises should establish a sound scrapping management system and process to ensure that workers can replace discarded labor protection safety shoes in time to ensure their work safety.
