Making your safety our business
Safer Safety began trading in 1985 when the owner was granted a patent for the world ’ s first ever Metal Detectable Earplug , “ DETECTAPLUG ”. Mass food processing was at its height and product contamination , whether accidental or malicious , was a big worry for the leading manufacturers of the time .
Employees hated wearing bulky , often uncomfortable , traditional earmuffs but earplugs were thought to be too risky to use on the production line for fear of them falling into the produce undetected . Detectaplug incorporated a metal tagged connecting cord and later a ball bearing in each plug which would trigger any metal detector usually found on such lines . Later versions went one stage further and are now made from a special metal impregnated material for both the plug and the connecting cord making them 100 % detectable even if broken up . Low-cost disposable foam earplugs called DETECTAFOAM were introduced also incorporating a detectable cord and metal insert and

Another first for Safer Safety was the development of high-performance ANTI-SLIP footwear , also used extensively in the food industry where slips account for a high proportion of accidents . Since 1999 we helped develop several US brands before designing our own “ GRIP ” brand of footwear in 2017 . This range offers amazing grip even on wet and greasy floors by combining a special rubber compound with a unique tread pattern designed to expel liquid as you walk .
Another world first are the tread wear indicators on our shoes , similar to those found on car tyres , making it easy for employees to know when to change their footwear . From sturdy steel toecap boots to very trendy lightweight trainers for both men and women , the Grip range of Anti-Slip footwear is leading the way in reducing slips in the workplace while providing comfortable , attractive footwear . As an active member of the world renowned UK Slip Resistance group , our owner is proud to be involved in helping to reduce the overall number of slip fall accidents in the workplace and will continue to develop new ideas to minimise this risk wherever possible .
