Work Boots and Foot Related Injuries- Say Goodbye to Accidents on the Job
When it comes to maintaining the integrity of your work boot while on a job site, it is essential to use a boot cover so that mud, snow, water and dirt are not tracked into your customerās home or building. Both neoprene and paper and plastic boot covers will keep your worksite clean; however, over the long run, the cost of a neoprene reusable boot will save your money and the environment.
Both neoprene reusable boot covers and paper and plastic disposable boot covers are an economical choice when it comes to maintaining the integrity of your work boots while keeping your job site meticulously clean. Here is a comparison of the two.
Disposable Paper and Plastic Shoe Covers
Disposable paper and plastic shoe covers are just that- disposable. These types of shoe covers do come in handy, and at a good price; but are meant for extremely short term use. Generally meant for a one-time use, these shoe covers often end up tearing before a job is complete.
Paper and plastic shoe covers are used most commonly in hospitals, where the wear and tear on this product is minimal and indoor shoes are worn. These shoe covers do not compare in durability with reusable neoprene boot covers, as they are made from polypropylene or spun bond plastics, and easily wear through their soles or rip at the seams. The grip on the sole of a paper and plastic boot cover is insufficient to give you the safety that you would rely on with your work shoes.
Paper and plastic models are also very thin, allowing for mud and water to seep through, should the work boot be dirty. Though a waterproof variety of disposable boot cover is available for purchase, the dilemma remains that they are thrown in the garbage at the end of the day, if they indeed last that long.
Why Switch to Neoprene Reusable Boot Covers?
Neoprene re-usable boot covers are not just for the raving environmentalist. Contractors, hospital workers, Molly Maids, and factory workers alike are realizing the benefits of using a durable neoprene product. This product fits best over work boots rather than a regular shoe. Not only will neoprene boot covers fit into your budget at a cost of less than thirty dollars a pair; they will last for months at a time.
Specially made neoprene boot covers have a rippled sole that gives extra grip for safety and traction. They are also durable, lightweight and machine washable. In most jobs, safety is a must. With a neoprene boot cover such as the Original CleanBoot, the non-slip grip sole will ensure safety from slips and falls on a job site. You can find these boot covers both online or at stores and suppliers that sell to contractors.
By wearing a boot cover, you show your customers or your employer that you care and respect their property. Neoprene boot covers comply with occupational health and safety regulations and will save you the time and money associated with clean up on a job site.
