Foot and head protection

head and foot protection

In certain research settings, protective footwear is crucial for shielding staff from hazards, such as mechanical dangers like falling objects or slips, and chemical or biological threats like splashes or spills. Consequently, wearing closed, non-slip shoes is compulsory in these zones.

In facilities requiring a certain degree of asepsis, the use of surgical gaiters and surgical caps is advisable. These items minimise the spread of biological contaminants, thereby contributing to a hygienically clean environment and helping to protect the integrity of the experimental procedures being performed.
