Certification
Employers run the risk of damage claims if safety footwear does not meet European directives. This also applies to adjusted safety shoes and replacing orthopaedic insoles, even when the adjustments have been made by an orthopaedist.
Safety and health in the workplace for everyone: that's at the heart of Neskrid. To ensure this, all our products come with two important certifications:
Neskrid's focus isn't solely on safety and health; we also deeply care about sustainability and quality. Our adherence to these values is demonstrated by our ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management) certifications.
To ensure our products consistently meet the latest certification requirements, Neskrid works closely with the NEN, the Dutch Standardisation Institute responsible for issuing these certifications. Our colleague Jan Dirksen contributes to this as a member of their committee. If you'd like to know more about the NEN or Jan's role within this committee, please read his interview here.
Replacing (semi-)orthopaedic
insoles in protective footwear
Did you know that replacing (semi-)orthopaedic insoles in work or safety footwear (protective footwear) is not allowed just like that? In this case, the combination of the footwear and the insole no longer meets the legal health and safety requirements. In order to ensure that the combination of (semi-)orthopaedic insoles with protective footwear does meet the requirements, it must comply with European Regulation EU/2016/425 for safety aspects and European Regulation EU/2017/745 for health aspects.
Would you like to know more about the specifics of these regulations and how 4Allbrands (semi-)orthopaedic insoles comply with them when used in all brands and models of work and safety footwear? MAAK lawyers have drafted a document explaining how this legislation and the use of (semi-)orthopaedic insoles in protective footwear is permitted.
The 4Allbrands (semi-)orthopaedic insoles have been tested and approved by the Dutch Labour Inspectorate and the German Bavarian Trade Inspection, would you like to know more?
