Keeping inside workspaces clean can be an uphill battle. No matter how many times you bash your boots together dirt, industrial dust and other foreign objects can still be remain lodged in the tread and on the outside of your shoes.
Footwear hygiene plays an important role in the food industry, however can be overlooked elsewhere. Germs and pathogens aside, some work places can get pretty dirty which is not only unsightly but can become a health and safety hazard.
Take for instance the food industry. The risk of bacterial contamination in a food processing plant can not only cause food poisoning to its customers but could also result in a costly recall.
Farms can be affected by soil-borne pests and weed seeds that can affect crops. Infected plant material, manure and soil can also carry diseases directly from one farm to the next.
Even native plants in our National parks are destroyed by microscopic fungal-like organisms that are spread from infected soil carried on shoes.
Boot cleaners are designed to effectively clean the sole, tread and sides of your boots before entering areas where clean footwear is important to reduce risk of contamination or simply to keep inside areas clean.
Installing a boot cleaning station can encourage and, in some cases, enforce workers and visitors to undertake better footwear hygiene and cleaning practices.
