DIY Guy? You need Work Boots at home too!

A lot of people love to do chores around the house themselves. Be it simple gardening, a little carpentering or even advanced tasks like laying large paving blocks, creating a garden path and more. I am a bit of DIY guy myself. What prompted me to write this article though, is the lack of specialized safety equipment usage by DIY people at home.

Safety matters always

Just because you are working at home does not really mean that you will not require specialized safety equipment. Prevention is always better than cure and hence, you must use safety gear. Be it proper clothing, accessories or safety footwear. On more occasions that one, I have seen people doing potentially risky tasks wearing trainers or shoes.

Trainers?

Come on! You have to do better than that. If you do not want to opt for high end steel toe cap boots and feel that they are not really required, then you must at least use the basic safety boots or safety shoes while doing your chores.

Why safety boots?

To prevent your toes from being crushed! Ouch! Is that too graphic?

Alright, safety boots or work boots will ensure that your feet are well protected while you go about your chores. Keep in mind that at times, what seems like a reasonable simple task can also go wrong causing damage to your feet. And any damage or injury on the feet will immobilize you affecting your work as well as social life.

What kind of safety boots are required at home?

That depends on the kind of work that you undertake. For people who do not do anything beyond minor repair works, a basic pair work boots should be fine. But if you undertake potentially risky activity that includes handling heavy machinery then you should opt for steel toe capped safety boots.
