Whether you are a forensic investigator, work in a large factory, work on an oil rig day in and day out, transport chemicals or conduct research in a laboratory; the fact is that you come into contact with hazardous substances on a daily basis.

Oil and gas industry
Do you work in the oil or gas industry? Then you work in one of the most demanding work environments in the world.

Safety shoes are a crucial part of safety equipment in the chemical industry. By choosing the right shoes and maintaining them properly, you can protect yourself from potential hazards in the most challenging environments. How do you choose the right safety shoes from the many options available?

By fitting and testing! Too often, people either order shoes online without proper consideration or assume their size will automatically be a good fit.

EMMA Safety Footwear assists you with fitting and helps you choose with its mobile fitting service. This is a 'shoe shop on wheels', which contains handy equipment as well as all common sizes and types of safety shoes. One of our experienced associates visits your premises and provides you and your colleagues with appropriate advice. An efficient way of fitting shoes, saving each colleague the time and hassle of visiting a store individually! The mobile fitting service measures your feet and allows us to discuss your specific needs and any foot concerns you may have. We also curate a selection of shoes tailored to your specific industry, in this case, the chemical industry. After all, the best-fitting shoe is more than just one that is in your size. It is the shoe that fits well and is perfect for 'the job to be done'.
