New CSA standard and user guide focus on protective footwear
The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has released a new edition of the Protective Footwear standard, Z195-02, which outlines the requirements for protective footwear.
Recognized by provincial regulators, CSA's Protective Footwear standard is referenced in legislation in many provinces across Canada. The standard outlines testing requirements for toe impact, metatarsal protection, sole puncture protection, electric shock resistance, static dissipation and sole flexing.
