Frequently Asked Questions

1 - What is the difference between safety boots and safety shoes?

Safety boots offer ankle support and are suited to outdoor, construction, and heavy industrial environments where there is a risk of ankle injury or exposure to wet or rough terrain. Safety shoes are lower cut, lighter, and better suited to warehousing, logistics, and light industrial work where comfort over a full working day is a priority. Both types at HuntOffice meet relevant EN ISO 20345 safety standards. If you are unsure which is right for your workplace, our customer service team is happy to advise.

2 - What does S1, S2, or S3 mean on safety footwear?

These are EN ISO 20345 safety ratings. S1 footwear has a steel toecap and anti-static properties - suitable for dry indoor environments. S2 adds water resistance to the upper, making it suitable for damp conditions. S3 is the most widely used on Irish construction and outdoor sites - it includes a steel midsole for puncture protection and a water-resistant upper. Check your employer's risk assessment or the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) guidelines to confirm which rating is required for your role.

3 - Do you stock safety footwear for women?

Safety footwear designed for women is available at HuntOffice, with narrower fits and sizing specifically designed for female workers. These are available across boot and shoe styles in S1, S2, and S3 ratings. Our customer service team can help identify the best options for your team if you are kitting out a mixed workforce.

4 - Can I order safety footwear in bulk for my team?

Bulk orders for safety footwear are something our customer service team handles regularly for construction firms, logistics companies, hospitality businesses, and healthcare employers across Ireland. Get in touch for a quote tailored to your team size, specification, and delivery requirements across all 32 counties.

5 - How do I choose the right safety footwear for my workplace?

The right choice depends on the hazards present in your working environment. Key factors include: the safety rating required (S1, S2, S3), the need for slip resistance, whether electrical hazard protection is needed, comfort for long shifts, and any specific sector requirements such as food safety compliance. Our customer service team can walk you through the options if you are unsure what your workplace risk assessment requires.

6 - Is safety footwear a legal requirement in Ireland?

Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, Irish employers are required to provide appropriate personal protective equipment - including safety footwear - where workplace risks make it necessary. The specific type required will depend on the risk assessment for each role. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) provides guidance on PPE obligations for Irish employers.
