Electrical hazards can occur across construction, electrical maintenance, utilities, manufacturing, infrastructure and industrial workplaces.
Depending on the model, additional features may include steel or composite safety toe caps, penetration-resistant midsoles, slip-resistant outsoles, heat resistance, water-resistant uppers, side zips and impact-absorbing footbeds.
Who Uses Electrical Hazard Safety Boots?
Electrical hazard resistant footwear can be a requirement for workers and crew including:
Electricians, electrical contractors, electrical engineers, HVAC technicians, telecommunications technicians, maintenance workers, utility workers, solar installers, construction workers, facility maintenance teams, industrial technicians and other trades working around electrical infrastructure or equipment.
Importantly, electrical hazard footwear should form one part of an appropriate workplace safety system. It should not be treated as a substitute for electrical isolation procedures, appropriate PPE, workplace risk assessments or other required controls.

Steel Toe & Composite Toe EH Safety Boots
Electrical hazard footwear can be available with either steel or composite safety toe protection, depending on the model.
A composite toe should not automatically be assumed to provide electrical hazard protection simply because it is non-metallic. Likewise, the presence of a steel safety toe does not automatically tell a shopper whether a boot has or lacks EH resistance.
Electrical hazard performance should be determined from the certification and specifications of the complete footwear product, rather than the toe-cap material alone.
