Rigger Boots on Site – What's the issue?

If you work at height, outdoors or on building sites where slips, trips and falls on uneven surfaces are more likely, choose a lace up ankle boot or pull-on dealer boot that is comfortable, slip resistant and durable. They should conform to EN ISO : which is the standard which all styles that are classified as &#;safety footwear&#; are tested to.

Posted By Katie Hoyland The problem with banning the rigger boot as with any outlawed item of PPE ( look at the fasion for hi-viz vests in the 90's ) is that they obtain cult status and become a 'must have' fashion accessory, and then you are back to square one. Maybe de-glamorising them may be a better option. Recently our Chief Exec came into work wearing a baseball cap , purely with the intention of embarrassing a persistent wearer of a baseball cap into not wearing it as the chief exec. is not fashionable and hence shows the cap in a negative light. This worked and the shopfloor is now free of potentially harmful head wear. So maybe think more along these lines with the riggers. A further problem associated with riggers is that they have a 'sexier' image than wellies and some workers ( especially building sites etc) may find that they feel more attractive when wearing them. This is a difficult one , and i look forward to hearing how you get on. K x
