Slip resistance was a decisive factor
when MASCOT began to develop
its new safety footwear (launched in
2010). As a minimum, the special
sole construction had to meet the
EN ISO 13287 norm. The two sole
types that MASCOT then launched
met the demands of both the soap
on ceramic (SRA) and oil on steel
(SRB), thereby obtaining an
automatic SRC recognition – the
best standard for slip resistance.
Earlier this year, MASCOT
launched three new pairs of safety
shoes which are all SRC recognised.
The newly developed sole is now
more flexible as it is made of a very
soft, supple rubber material,
meaning even better surface contact.
