Slip resistance should therefore be the first property to be considered when selecting footwear as PPE.Employers and self-employed people
40、should assess the risks from their work activities. Every effort should be made to reduce risks to a minimum before considering the use of PPE. If the risks cannot be eliminated by other methods, personal protective equipment should be used. It is important to select the correct type of PPE footwear
41、 in respect of the risk. The protection required in the work place determines the type of footwear to be chosen. The properties of PPE Footwear can be combined to provide protection against more than one hazard, for example footwear can have a toe cap and be slip resistant.6 ISO 2012 All rights rese
42、rvedPD CEN ISO/TR 18690:2012ISO/TR 18690:2012(E)Prior to the selection and use of PPE footwear or leg protector the employer should assess the working conditions, especially the type and extent of the hazards, duration of the hazard and personal requisites of the wearer.6.1.2 Risk analysisGenerally,
43、 exposure to health and safety risks is always present in work activities. Therefore, the implementation of collective protection systems is required, and when the residual risk cannot be avoided and/or reduced, PPE has to be used.Before selecting and using safety or occupational footwear, the emplo
44、yer should carefully evaluate the working conditions, including: risk type and nature; risk duration and frequency; individual features of the worker to be protected.In this context, the human factor-related risk is of particular importance. The term encompasses all risk factors connected with the w
45、orkers psycho-physical state, incapacity, recklessness, lack of training and, in general, behaviour that is inappropriate in the work context. The absence of theoretical and practical training, as well as the inability to handle certain work situations, are the most frequent human factor-related cau
46、ses of accidents. Human factor-related risks at work should be duly analysed so as to be subsequently eliminated and/or reduced.6.1.3 Types of riskIn his work activities, the worker is exposed to residual risks of various natures, which can be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level. The elimin
47、ation or reduction of such risks should be performed through the implementation of suitable safety footwear which should always be correctly used and maintained, according to the manufacturers instructions, within qualitative limits that do not compromise the protective characteristics of the footwe
48、ar and in accordance with its intended use, so as not to incur further risks derived from the footwear itself.Risks covered by the use of safety footwear: mechanical; electrical; thermal; chemical.Risks resulting from the use of inappropriate or damaged safety footwear: discomfort, interference with
49、 work activities; accidents and health risks; insufficient protection, etc.6.1.4 Exposure to risksRisk assessment should be able to identify the presence, at any time throughout the work day, of serious health risks, that is risks that may incur death or permanent health damage and of which the worker may not be opportunely aware, as well as any other health and safety risks.
