Tiling boots???

[doug boardley]

I'd had a few vino's when Neale asked if I did housework dressed like that:yikes::yikes:😳

I was recommended it by my doctor, I dont wear it often for that reason but I find I dont get any problems with my back if I wear it when using large tiles on a floor. Its being on my knees and leaning forward that does me in, all the weight is on the small of your back but the belt seems to take just enough of it.

A few weeks ago I was laying 600x600 porcelin onto a 15m2 floor and really felt sore in the lower back after that. I'll give the Tesco one a go.

Thanks

For years on big industrial floors (power vibration system) I wore Riggers, Used to tuck pants in, to stop screed getting in the boots. Recently I was told on site, they have been banned. HSE. :mad2: Tiling in hard hat, safety glasses, gloves etc. is not easy, I know PPE. is important. But sometimes common sense should prevail😛rrr:

always my old nike air max unless on site(which isn't too often) so don't really have any probs

i always wear trainers, even got steel toe caped ones for site always end up arguing with site agents :lol:

im no big health and safety expert but im sure that you can wear soft soled shoes IE traners (or trainees as we say in liverpool) whilst workin on floors as long as when you stand up you put your boots back on. correct me if im wrong.

We are working on a very large project at the moment where all this gear is required. I approached the Site Manager and told him my guys cannot work with steel toecaps and I have had to sign an official disclaimer absolving them of any liability to my guys feet whilst they are working. We talked and common sense prevailed it's as easy as that. Remember Health & Safety is a Guide! Too many people take it as set in stone

yeah i agree common sense does prevail when health and safety is concerned. But some site managers think that wearing boots when laying floors,wearing a hi-vis vest when there is no plant machinery on site, and wearing hard hats when there isnt anyone working at heights applies just because they say so!!!
Plus if you are finding it difficult to lay a floor with steel toe-capped boots and it hurts your feet, theoretically it is damaging your 'HEALTH' and whats the first word in 'HEALTH AND SAFETY'????
