Posted By George S Darmanin A company I represent is considering reusable toe protection for temporary workers (15 days to 3 months). These look like the front steel toe part of the shoes attached to a wide elasticated band. They are CE marked and made in a EU country. Has anyone made use of similar toe protection? All others who wishes to express their opinion about the subject are very welcome.

Posted By Amanda In my previous company we kept a selection of safety shoes (as per the spec of the RA) which were issued to people for the length of their stay. When they left the shoes were sanitised as per bowling alleys, or replaced dependant of wear etc. This system stood up to inspection from the HSE and was also acceptable to the people using them as they had exactly the same protection as permanent people. Just a thought.
