The GIASCO TESLA electrician safety boots are the premium shoes for electricians who need protection from electric current and also cold and heat insulation in the sole. Their upper is made of waterproof anti-scratch leather, 1.8-2.0mm thick with a high visibility insert. Their tongue is soft and padded. The GIASCO TESLA electrician safety boots are metal-free, meaning they contain absolutely no metal. The protection they provide in the toe and sole, therefore, consists of a polymer safety material with 200J impact safety, according to EN 12568. Furthermore, their design, given that they are boots, provides protection up to the ankle height. Given that they also have cold insulation (CI) and heat insulation (HI & HRO) certification in the sole, they are ideal also for industrial areas and for outdoor environments, such as wind turbine sites. Their special feature is the breathable Windtex membrane they have, which is a Giasco innovation in combination with the WR marking (waterproof shoe). This particular soft material is anti-scratch and highly breathable, so discomfort is not caused even when wearing the GIASCO TESLA electrician safety boots for many hours.

Regarding their sole, work shoes with the Hard Rock Dielectric sole, like the GIASCO TESLA electrician safety boots, are the appropriate shoes for those who generally work with electrical cables and are exposed to the risk of electric shock. Protection from electric shock is provided by these work shoes thanks to the rubber part of the sole which ensures complete protection from ground electrical discharges. Thanks to these specific materials, this sole has received 3 important certifications for electrician shoes: the Canadian marking (C.S.A. Z195-14), the American (ASTM 2413-11) for electrical resistance of 20,000V for 1 minute, as well as the European for electrical resistance over 1000MΩ under certain conditions (no moisture).

Presentation of the Hard Rock Dielectric sole

The insole of the shoe is insulating with active carbon, comfortable, breathable, removable, absorbent, anatomical, and antibacterial.

Issues to be aware of regarding electrician shoes:

• Simple antistatic work shoes or ESD shoes do not protect against electric shock. Electrician shoes must always be dielectric.
• Dielectric protection for electrician shoes applies to the sole, not the upper part of the shoe.
• Electrician shoes do not carry the S3 marking like classic safety shoes that are waterproof and provide penetration protection in the sole and toe protection. As a rule, their marking is broken down into their individual certifications. For example, GIASCO TESLA ELECTRICIAN SAFETY BOOTS SB FO E P CI HI WR HRO, where SB = anti-slip sole and toe protection (among others), FO = sole resistance to hydrocarbons (oils, fuels), E = heel energy absorption, P = penetration protection in the sole, CI = cold insulation in the sole, HI = heat insulation in the sole, HRO = sole protection from hot surfaces, and WR = waterproof shoe.
• For complete protection, electricians should also use other Electrician Personal Protective Equipment, such as electrician protective gloves, electrician safety helmets, etc.
• Electrician safety shoes must be completely metal-free, i.e., work shoes without metal throughout the entire shoe.

The GIASCO TESLA electrician work boots are suitable for sectors and applications such as:

• Electrical work
• Construction - work sites
• Industry - manufacturing
• Maintenance technicians
• Technical work

They are manufactured according to Standards EN ISO 20344 and EN ISO 20345:2012. Learn more about the standards for safety, protective, and work shoes.
