Protect Your Piggies Safety At Work, Home And In The Garden.No one wants to spend a breezy summer day in a hospital emergency room. But, according to a variety of sources, there is an estimated 230,000 people treated in American and Canadian emergency rooms each year for injuries they sustained from lawn and garden tools. Around 80,000 Americans are injured by lawn mowers each year according to one study done by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Who is getting injured most often? According to the researchers, children under 15 and adults age 60 or older. So, why aren't we protecting our piggies today? Safety boots are expensive. They can't easily be shared among users. They aren't 'user friendly'. What else is there? One of the most effective safety products, safetytoes, could easily reduce the damage done to feet and toes. Unfortunately, and quite obviously, today safetytoes are missing in action on the home front. And yet, the rubber galosh was once a common piece of attire in North American homes. This was especially true in wet or snowy climates. Back then we were concerned only about protecting our shoes from rain, snow and salt. Well, the old-fashioned rubber galosh has evolved into what could once again be commonplace in every home. Using modern materials and technology, it has a steel toecap and some other features of interest to anybody active around the home. From gardeners, whose motto should be "don't mow without your toes", to DIY enthusiasts, safetytoes are now an affordable option. Here's why you might want to check out these new products; 1 your toes are invaluable - worth way more than any shoe 2 they comply with OSHA and CE standards for the workplace 3 the steel toecap is the same as used in industrial safety footwear 4 they are stylish and easy to slip on over your favourite gardening shoes 5 the galosh is made of a sturdy rubber-based material 6 the unique design permits the addition of a steel sole inlay giving nail penetration protection 7 safetytoes cost a lot less than safety boots While many useful 'safety@home' locations on the internet stress the need to dress appropriately - wear sturdy slip resistant rubber soles, safety glasses, gloves and other good advice - none recommend safetytoes. Probably, because of a lack of awareness for the simple and inexpensive solution already used extensively in industry. Maybe things are about to change for the better? Remember, "Don t mow without your toes"! Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com
