Safety Ratings and OSHA Requirements
The manufacturer sheet lists ASTM F2413-11 M I/75 C/75 Mt/75 EH for toe impact, compression, metatarsal, and electrical-hazard performance. This is the documented edition for this model; it is not a claim of testing to a newer edition.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.136 requires protective footwear where specified foot hazards exist and sets footwear criteria, including an equivalent-effectiveness provision. OSHA 1910.132 addresses hazard assessment, proper fit, training, and damaged PPE. Select footwear for the actual exposure; OSHA does not approve individual boot models.
Electrical-hazard footwear is secondary protection, not a replacement for electrical PPE or safe-work procedures. The manufacturer specifies no puncture plate. Do not select this boot for underfoot penetration hazards without separately verified protection.
Fit, Insulation, and Use
ASA currently offers sizes 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Check fit with work socks and confirm the toe and metatarsal areas allow comfortable movement. Do not assume insulation weight establishes a safe exposure temperature or guaranteed comfort duration.
Waterproof construction and slip resistance do not remove all wet-work hazards. Inspect the upper, liner, laces, tread, and sole attachment; follow manufacturer care instructions and replace damaged footwear.
For repeat orders, specify model 45680C, the required size, and quantities in pairs. Check replacement boots against the approved workplace specification, especially when purchasing for teams with different foot shapes, sock requirements, or daily exposure conditions.
