Let us tell you a story...one that might hit closer to home than you expect.
In Singapore, in 2018, a worker named Yong Him Chong was tragically crushed by a bundle of rubber sheets weighing 577 kg. He was found wearing slippers, not safety boots. His employer later tried to place a pair of safety boots at the scene to mislead investigators and the director was fined for $200,000 for instructing that alteration.
While in Malaysia, according to a review of occupational injuries from 2016 to 2021, many workplace injuries involve extremities like hands and feet.
Often due to falling objects, crushing, slips, or punctures.
Hereβs a fact: The Malaysian Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) framework requires employers to provide certified safety footwear in workplaces where foot hazards exist.
So before anyone rushes to sell a pair of boots, let us walk you through why shoes matter, especially in real work environments.
Let us educate you (on your risk) π:
β’ Crushing risks β heavy objects, rolling loads β your toes are vulnerable.
β’ Puncture hazards β nails, glass, metal fragments on the floor.
β’ Slips and falls β oil, water, uneven surfaces.
β’ Electrical hazards β in certain zones, your footwear must be non-conductive.
β’ Fatigue & pain β poor shoes lead to discomfort, reduced focus, and resulting in more mistakes.
Too often companies cut costs on footwear, or choose ones that βlook safeβ but arenβt engineered for the real dangers on site.
Thus we brings you G.R.E.T.A. !
Its literal meaning "Generally Resistant Enough To Anything".
Thatβs why we are not selling this G.R.E.T.A to you until you truly understand why you must have it β not because we want you to have it no matter what, but because your feet, your workers, deserve the correct protection.
But yes, once you see the truth behind the design, the risk, the damage, we will gladly offer you a solution tailored to your workplaceβs real hazards.
If this message speaks to you β please repost and reshare.
Letβs spread awareness. One pair of feet protected might save years of pain β or even a life.
