Dielectric safety footwear is designed to provide electrical insulation and protect workers from electric shocks. This type of footwear is essential in environments where there is a risk of exposure to electrical currents, such as the electrical and construction industries, and when working with electrical systems.
Dielectric safety footwear must comply with specific safety regulations and standards, depending on the region and industry. These standards typically establish requirements for dielectric strength and other electrical protection characteristics.
Dielectric footwear is designed with an insulating sole that protects against electric current. Furthermore, all ROBUSTA dielectric models are metal-free.
It is important to note that dielectric safety footwear does not guarantee protection against all electrical voltages and conditions. Users must follow safe work practices and comply with all industry-specific regulations and procedures. Additionally, footwear should be inspected regularly to ensure its integrity and effectiveness.
These models are resistant to electric shock and offer greater protection and insulation than antistatic footwear (though not meeting the requirements of EN 50321). Specifically, when voltages of 14,000 and 18,000 volts are applied at a frequency of 60 Hz for one minute, the current intensity is less than 1 mA, according to F2413-18 standards. In any case, it is recommended to assess each electrical risk situation.
Below are the models of Dielectric Safety Footwear included in the ROBUSTA catalog.
