There are many hardcore footwear boots on the market with models designed for the ultimate in health and safety for the feet. Many of the trendy boot manufacturers offer a health and safety boot and shoe which can cope with the most demanding of work environments. However, how many can stand up to a NICO 9 bang stun grenade? The answer is only one, and that is the Magnum Elite.
It has to be said that most people will not come into contact with such an item very often, and in the rare case that one does roll up to your foot, you can be 100% sure that your boots will survive. This may be of minimal concern, however to police forces it is an important safety feature. To Hertfordshire police it is of major significance as two separate incidents in 2006 proved that their standard issue boots were not up to the job.
It is what led Magnum to tape grenades to the boots to test out their grenade proofing properties, and they came out of the test smelling of roses and went on to take the Company Clothing Industry Award for best footwear in 2009.
Magnum are the health and safety shoes specialists, and the only dedicated global safety and uniform footwear company. If you work in extreme environments, there is no other shoe to choose. Magnum boots and shoes are worn by some relatively tame professions compared to armed response units and elite forces, and are chosen for the comfort and safety that they offer. Whilst your postman may not come into contact with stun grenades frequently, they are a handy safety boot when the occasional dog takes a particular dislike to receiving mail.
Work on the rigs? There is no better boot. Ion-Mask technology is guaranteed to repel not only water, but petrol, oil, alcohol and chemicals. It is the ion-mask technology which sets these boots aside as the best on the market for safety.
There are few companies which go to the level of detail as Magnum. How many companies go to the trouble of treating each pair of shoes in a vacuum, priming them with plasma, flooding them with fluorocarbons and applying a micro layer of polymer to every fibre of the boot? Again, there is only one. Magnum boots emerge from this treatment not only giving the ultimate in waterproofing, but also are certified to be resistant to all manner of chemicals and dangerous fluids and will also offer protection against blood borne pathogens. Due to the extensive treatment they receive before leaving the factory they are sure to last for years and still look as good as the day they were bought.
All models exceed industry standards for occupational footwear. They have also been tested at 300ºC and will resist even these extreme temperatures, albeit temporarily but certainly longer that the rest of the body and standard safety bots. Steel toes resist up to 200 Joules of force and an underfoot steel plate will protect from spikes and nails. They wick away moisture, have fully breathable membranes and super shock absorbing soles offering an al round foot and ankle protection system.
In the day and age of employee claims, blood thirsty no win no fee lawyers and a much greater emphasis placed on the employer to protect staff, it is no surprise that so many industrial companies provide Magnum as standard issue footwear to keep both employees and employers perfectly protected. The boots carry the EN347-1 (Occupational) and EN345-1 (Safety) accreditation and are the best that money can buy.
If you care about the safety of your feet, or the feet of your employees then look no further than Magnum, for these is no better boot on the market for protection and safety.
