It is important that the Scruffs footwear selected
for wear must be suitable for the protection level
required and the wear environment. Where a wear
environment is not known, it is very important
that consultation is carried out between the seller
and the purchaser to ensure, where possible, that
the correct footwear is provided.
This footwear has been tested for slip resistance,
but cannot guarantee to prevent slips. Hence,
care must be taken when on slippery surfaces. |
