Wear Your safety boots to protect yourself
You have two feet and I have one pair of feet. These are the only feet we will have to help us walk, run, jump and be independent. Without our feet, we will not be able to enojoy life to the fullest and will be dependent on either our family members or reliant on walking instruments. In the construction industry, there are sometimes accidents that can be prevented but there are also accidents that occur totally unexpectedly. In all these incidents, there victim's feet can be protected if he or she worn a good pair of safety boots.
The reasons and excuses that some people give for not wearing safety boots at job sites is that they are uncomfortable and expensive. Do you not wear your seatbelt in a car because you find it uncomfortable? Would you not pull down the safety railings when you ride on a roller coaster? Do you not wear a helmet when you ride a motorcycle because it is uncomfortable? Any person with common sense would answer the questions in an affirmative. Why then is it so difficult to invest in a good, quality pair of safety boots for activities that require the protection of feet from hazards?
For people who work in the construction industry, you don't even need to think twice to realise you need a pair of safety work boots. The construction site is filled with heavy equipment and machinery. Accidents occur at construction sites on a regular basis. Most job sites require workers to wear safety boots before even entering the work zone. It is mandatory. Steel toe boots (as they are normally called) are designed and manufactured for the construction worker in mind. They are normally reinforced with steel or metal allow plates around the toe area as well as the underside of sole. This prevents the feet from puncture wounds, lacerations and impact injury.
Although it would be foolish to think that wearing safety boots alone will prevent injury, they do add quite a significant measure of protection and security to workplace hazards. It is a common statistic cited that 3 out of 4 people who received foot injury while at work did not wear safety protective work boots. Although 100% protection can never be guaranteed, the statistics don't lie that there is definite a much greater increase in safety protection once those boots are donned. Does it seem worth it now to subject your feet to some discomfort rather than a whole lot of pain and agony form workplace injury?
If you argue that safety boots are uncomfortable and do not want to wear them, that is no longer a valid excuse, as more and more renowed manufacturers of safety boots have already been designing their products with comfort as one of their design factors. Not only can you expect protection and durability, comfort is also not neglected. So please go and get a pair of safety boots for yourself.
