Liquid-Proof Boot Covers That Help Prevent Cross-Contamination

From collection to transportation, waste equipment such as dumpsters, refuse trucks, trash cans, compactors, hoppers, and environmental or intermodal containers are employed to help business manage its waste streams.

Municipal solid waste collectors (MSW) are typically dispatched to worksites where they exchange equipment and haul the dirty units to transfer stations or material recovery facilities where handlers (sorters) manually sort through waste streams to isolate any recyclables.

Waste disposal is a dirty task and after a few hours on the job, so are the boots and shoes that are worn to and from the job. Do you clean or remove your work boots before you enter your home, car, or office? If not, you might want to reconsider doing so.

Studies at a leading university report that 40% of shoes tested revealed dangerous intestinal bacterium and tracking can put individuals at high risk for contamination. 

How you choose to protect your feet is just as critical in achieving successful personal protection as well as prevention of cross-contamination. Along with exposure, the transfer of hazardous chemical toxins, dirt, pathogens, HAI's, allergens and other residuals are even more likely without proper footwear protection.  Any residuals you may have on your feet can have a major impact on health and safety at home or within the facility. 

BARRIER PROTECTION FOR FOOTWEAR
