Warm weather calls for cold beer. If you take a do-it-yourself approach to enjoying your hoppy beverages, or if you’re lucky enough to brew beer for a living, Working Person’s Store has got your apparel covered. Take your ale-making game to the next level with the quality gear you need to stay safe in this high-hazard industry, like non-slip boots, safety glasses and gloves.
Hot liquids, caustic chemicals, and wet floors are just a few reasons why it’s important for beer brewers to use caution when choosing what to wear on the job. When it comes to footwear, the Brewers Association recommends tall rubber boots that are non-slip and have steel toes.
At Working Person
’s Store, we carry Bogs Men’s Forge 69172 Steel Toe Waterproof Black
Boots that offer total waterproof protection with non-slip outsoles to keep you steady as you brew. The natural, hand-lasted rubber uppers with 4-way stretch outer shells reduce friction points and let your feet breathe. The steel toes are ASTM 2413-05 and ASTM 2414-05 rated and will protect your feet from toe stubs and impacts from above. They’ll also provide you with chemical- and slip-resistance.
The Brewer’s Association recommends protective eyewear when on the clock and suggests that glasses meet ANSI Z87.1 standards. Our Radians Galaxy Clear Safety Glasses GX0110ID are an economical solution to keeping your peepers protected. They feature integral side shields and meet the latest ANSI standards for impact, penetration, ignition and flammability, lens thickness, prismatic deviation, haze, luminous transmittance, corrosion, and more.
