Best Electrical safety shoes to buy 2024

Workers need protection from electric shock thus wearing the best dielectric and electrical shoes is a requirement by all electrical specialist. There are guidelines one needs to look at when buying or wearing a safety shoe as written in our previous article.

Today we are going to look at different shoes one would consider buying while buying a n electrical safety shoe causes of electric shock , who should wear and why one should wear.

Who should wear safety electrical boots ?

All workers exposed to electrical components are at high risk of electric shock thus need to be protected by wearing the appropriate safety foot wear. Some of these workers include: electrical engineers, workers at construction sites etc..

Causes of electric injury:

The following are the causes :

• Defective or damaged tools, badly maintained equipment
• Inadequate wiring, improper grounding
• Unsafe work practice or environment
• Unexpected exposition to electric parts
• Contact with overhead power lines, high voltage circuits
• Overloaded circuits, improper insulation

Health risks from electric contact

Electrocutions are one of the most frequent electrical hazards in construction sites. When in direct contact with electric high voltage equipment, such as overhead powerlines or transformer cabins, electrocution can be fatal by cardiac arrest. Each year they cause more than 300 deaths and 4,000 injuries. Electricity flows through conductors including metals, water, earth, but also the human body. When electrical equipment is functioning properly, the circuit is maintained between the tool, the wires and the electric source.

However, in case of a malfunctioning machine or circuit, the operator can become part of the electric circuit. When in direct contact with a “live” wire, a person can feel a tingling sensation, over an intense electric shock, to ultimately a fatal electrocution, depending on the power, frequency and type (AC/DC) of electric source. Voltages over 50V AC or 120V DC are considered hazardous.
