SKU: ATS143-6

Training Objectives

Assess sole hardness and material composition for maximum traction

Verify that the tread pattern covers the entire heel and sole area for stability

Course Overview

Not all "non-slip" shoes are created equal.

A sole that grips well on dry concrete might be like ice on a greasy kitchen floor. This training short moves beyond the generic label of "safety shoes" to the science of traction. We teach you how to evaluate the tread design, does it channel liquid away effectively?, and the sole hardness required for your specific work environment.

We also cover the critical importance of full-surface contact. Does the tread pattern extend to the heel, where most slips originate? We explain why consulting manufacturers for specialized gear is often safer than relying on general-purpose boots. Watch this video to learn how to choose footwear that actually keeps you on your feet.
