AS/NZS 2210.3:2000 pdf download.Occupational protective footwear Part 3: Specification for safety footwear.
During service, the electrical resistance of footwear made from conductive material may be changed significantly. due to flexing
and contamination. It is necessary to ensure that the conductive footwear is capable of fulfilling its designed function of
dosipating electrostatic charges throughout the whole of its life. Where necessary, the user is therefore recommended to establish an in-house test for electrical resistance and to use this test at regular intervals. This test and those mentioned below should
be a routine part of the accident prevention programme of the workplace.
If the footwear is worn in conditions where the soling material becomes contaminated with substances that may increase the
efectncal resistance of the footwear, wearers should always check the electrical properties of their footwear before entefing a
hazard area
Where conductive footwear is in use, the resistance of the flooring should be such that it does not invalidate the protection
provided by the footwear.
