Guía de calzado de seguridad: Cómo elegirlo según la normativa EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024

La seguridad empieza por los pies. Un trabajador puede recorrer hasta 15.000 pasos al día en entornos exigentes. Descubre cómo el calzado de seguridad adecuado y la nueva norma EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 marcan la diferencia en la prevención laboral.

When we think about occupational health and safety, we often picture large structures or heavy machinery. However, one of the most important foundations of a worker’s wellbeing lies, quite literally, at their feet. An industrial worker typically takes between 10,000 and 15,000 steps a day across hard, uneven or potentially hazardous surfaces.

In this context, Cofan safety footwear should not simply be regarded as personal protective equipment (PPE), but also as an essential ergonomic solution that helps reduce sickness absence caused by chronic fatigue, back problems and joint injuries.

Safety standards have evolved significantly. It is no longer enough to wear boots fitted with steel toe caps. The updated EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 standard is now fully enforceable during workplace inspections, and understanding its requirements can make the difference between a company that merely complies with the law and one that delivers operational excellence.

Below, we break down everything you need to know to ensure you always have the right safety footwear for the job at hand.
