Long absence from work

1 September 2016
LONG ABSENCE FROM WORK DUE TO SLIPPING
Most accidents at work that result in long-term absence are caused by tripping or slipping (Source: NOS). This is exactly what happened to 240,000 employees in one year.

According to figures from the Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS), which investigated absence following accidents at work, an awkward fall is the cause of absences lasting more than four days in nearly one in three cases. Accidents, such as stumbles or slipping incidents, usually result in sprains or dislocations. Also, many victims claim to suffer psychological damage after an accident. In about 10% of the cases, there was an injury or fracture, the NOS reported. Good grip and manoeuvrability under all working and weather conditions are essential to prevent accidents. Emma safety shoes and boots are based on 3 mainstays, including Contact Management, which guarantees maximum grip on any surface.

Grip zone
GRIP ZONE
Nitril and PU outer sole for extreme work, oil and acid resistant, shock absorbing, energy returning heels.
Energy return
ENERGY RETURN
Anti-fatigue sole design returns energy to those areas of the foot where it’s needed most, effectively reducing the strains and stress of working on hard floors. So you use less energy making you less tired.
Stop&Go Zone
Stop&Go Zone
Double density soles (PU/PU and PU/nitril rubber) exceed highest slip test standards. Honeycomb design offers maximum grip during landing and taking your next step with a maximum coefficient of friction.
Climbing Control Zone
Climbing Control Zone
Specifically designed ridges, optimally
placed to maximise grip and foot stability
when climbing ladders.
Ridged to Repel Earth and Debris
Ridged to Repel Earth and Debris
Broader and conical designed gaps between the ridges and lugs of the sole enhance its ability to lose earth and debris during daily wear. If you walk in from the fields you won’t be bringing the fields in with you.
