| ANSI Statement |
| Many
of our new customers ask is our products are legal for use in the
US workplace. Federal regulations (Federal Register / Vol. 59, No.
66 / Wednesday, April 6, 1994) state that protective footwear shall
comply with ANSI Z41 1991 standards (covers 1999 update) OR shall
be demonstrated by employer to be equally effective. This covers Canadian
and European footwear as well as our product line. All of our foot
and toe guards are tested using ANSI Z41 testing methods and pass
with a large safety factor built in. Our foot and toe guards are shipped
with a tag on the inside of the guard stating“ Product provides
protection equal to ANSI Z41-1999 standards” Many customers also ask if our guards are accepted by OSHA. The Occupational Health and Safety Administration does recognize our product as acceptable for use in the US workplace. Please go to www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3077/osha 3077.html . This OSHA pamphlet covering personal protective equipment states that “aluminum alloy, fiberglass, or galvanized steel foot guards can be worn over usual work shoes”. |
