Slip Resistant Work Shoes - Important Work Footwear

On this particular page, I am addressing Slip Resistant Work Shoes, since a lot of customers work in environments where there may be wet or slick floor surfaces. People in many professions are told that they need to wear safety work shoes on the job.

Well, just because your work footwear may be labeled "Safety Work Shoes," that does not necessarily mean that your workshoes or workboots are slip resistant.

I just saw a tidbit stating that according to the National Safety Council, an estimated 25,000 or more accidents every day are related to slips and falls. Per Day! Multiply that figure by 365 days, and you've got more than 9 million accidents that are slips/falls related!

Folks, that is a huge number.

Then, I went over to this Carter Tile Solutions website, and saw a LOT of scary statistics about slips and falls. Just to note one example, they show a statement from the Restaurant Insurance Corp. that "slips and falls are the greatest source of general liability claims within the restaurant industry" The site also quotes the National Safety Council as saying "falls and slips were the second most costly type of worker's compensation claim, averaging $20,228 in 2002-2003." Yikes!

So, I know that this is a big issue - not only for the victims of a slip or fall - but also for the employer. As a writer, I can attest that this is big, because I once wrote for a company that developed numerous interactive online safety modules - and there was more than one lesson developed around the topic of avoiding slips and falls!

Lots of Companies...Who to Trust?
So, there are a lot of companies out there that offer slip resistant workshoes, and it's certainly easy enough for anyone to pop that term into your favorite search engine to see who is selling what. Since safety or slip resistant work shoes are not available through Magic Kids USA, I decided to research companies that DO offer good shoes. What I looked for was a company that had a good track record, and also some facts to back up their product offerings. I found a group called "Shoes for Crews" that has not only been around since 1984, but has also become recognized as a true leader in high quality slip resistant work shoes. They've got numbers from independent slip resistance tests that verify their claims as well. Even better: They are affordable! So you can visit Shoes for Crews for comfortable Slip Resistant Footwear starting as Low as $26. Impressive!

Fast Turnaround
I don't know about you, but I like a company that MOVES to fulfill my orders. Shoes for Crews definitely wants your business, and Shoes for Crews has a Huge Selection, Low Prices and Overnight Delivery. How cool is that!
