A safety gumboot, also known as a safety Wellington boot, is a type of protective footwear designed to provide protection to the feet and lower legs in hazardous work environments. It is made of a durable, waterproof material, typically rubber, and has a reinforced toe and sole to protect against impact, punctures, and electrical hazards.
Safety gumboots are commonly used in industries such as construction, mining, agriculture, and manufacturing, where workers are exposed to a range of hazards, including chemicals, heavy machinery, and sharp objects. They are designed to be comfortable and provide good support for the feet, reducing the risk of slips, trips, and falls.
