We supply PU230 Adhesive for fixing our ladder grips. As a rough guide you will need approximately 1 Tube for 4 X 400mm lengths. Custom sizes cut for FREE! Protection level S1 will still be visible with the suffix P, ie S1P. However, since the tests for nail protection have been extended to P, PL and PS, the protection level S1 will therefore be able to be specified with these additions; S1P, S1PL and S1PS. PS means the footwear was tested with a nail 3mm in diameter, and is relevant for risks such as sewing needles or hypodermic needles. Dylan also pointed out that there are many examples of when workers' safety can be compromised by climbing up flat-rung fixed ladders attached to equipment such as fuel tanks. Other protection levels that already includes requirements for nail protection are not stated as before, as the protection level itself already states that the product meets these requirements. However, it is interesting to know what type of nail protection that is included in the product. For example, protection class S3 (requirement for nail protection is included in that protection class) is therefore divided into the following three levels - S3, S3L and S3S.

The slip resistance test has also changed in the way it is carried out – now on a ceramic tile surface not a steel plate, and using different lubricants. Also, the heel and forepart of the boot will be tested, not the flat. Water resistant symbols changed:You may be asking, why have the standards been updated? Well, it is hoped that the changes will make for more precise testing and clearer marking of safety footwear that reflects more realistic real-world conditions and modern materials. Ensure that the top surface of the "Ladder Grip" is horizontal and remove any excess adhesive from the rung.

Consider using an effective stability device (a device which, if used correctly, prevents the ladder from slipping, some types of ladders come with these) Big Grip can be used on level ground to help prevent outward slip of ladder base with its large, grippy footprint area of over 480sq inches ( 24ins long x 20ins wide). Ladder grips have become part of the requirements for safety footwear slip-resistance due to the new EN ISO 20345:2022 safety footwear standards. So, what does that mean for V12? Well, for our many IGS TM and STS TM styles, no action is required! Our innovative and visionary approach to slip safety at height means that we don’t need to rush this ladder grip development into our footwear to make them compliant with the new safety standards.
