Transport and logistics: Crucial protection in a hazardous environment

26 March 2025
Personal protective equipment is essential for work in transport and logistics. Indeed, employees work in demanding environments and are exposed to various risks; from heavy machinery and goods to dangerous situations in depots or loading bays.

A good pair of safety shoes should therefore be included in the wardrobe of every lorry driver, air freight carrier, warehouse worker, dock worker, freight train operator, packer or forklift driver.

Protection and safety
The safety shoes from EMMA Safety Footwear provide crucial protection against physical dangers. There is even a shoe collection created especially for the transport and logistics sector! The unique design of these shoes provides protection from falling objects, heavy tools and sharp objects, such as nails, glass or splinters. The special anti-slip sole platform provides grip and stability, thus preventing a fall and injury. So, even if you get out of your lorry in winter weather or are required to load in a dock where oil has just leaked, you'll remain standing. Plus, this series also includes several metal-free shoes with ESD certification. These shoes help in discharging static electricity. This prevents your body becoming statically charged as well as avoiding damage to apparatus or electronic equipment. Clearly, no luxury in a depot packed with electronic components, a factory with sensitive apparatus or a warehouse filled with technology.

High walking and wearing comfort
What is really unique about EMMA safety shoes is that they are really comfortable to wear and move around in. Thanks to the use of light materials, breathable fabrics, cushioning outsole plus unique inlay soles, these shoes can be worn all day long. Strain on the ankles, feet, knees and back is minimal. So, those long hours of standing up or many kilometres of walking in a large distribution centre are no longer a problem with the safety shoes from EMMA Safety Footwear!
