"Naturally, we were delighted to receive such prominence in such a prestigious publication and at such an influential convention," Smyth admitted, "but when we discovered that PVC-Free products were being embraced by PPE manufacturers and end-users we were even more thrilled." The 'Slipp-R' is PVC-Free. "We use a vulcanized rubber material for our 'Slipp-R', which is made in Canada."

Many of the world's major corporations have adopted PVC-Free policies. Market leaders such as Apple, Ford, GM, J&J, Microsoft, Nestle, P&G, Sony and Volvo have taken a stand against the use of PVC. Industries and governments are making a global commitment to environmentally preferred purchasing programs. "Companies who have taken the PVC-Free pledge will no doubt be looking closely at the 'Slipp-R'", the CEO of Safetytoes International said upon his return from Chicago. "These products have been slow to gain acceptance due to a lack of marketing efforts and subsequent lack of awareness for their suitability in any situation where toe protection is necessary." The'Slipp-R' meets or exceeds all the minimum toe protection standards required by OSHA, CSA and CE.

Safetytoes International Inc., has devoted many resources to promote the use of its 'Slipp-R'. "Our safetytoes blog has been responsible for a much improved situation with respect those occasions in the industrial world when a product like the 'Slipp-R' can provide as much toe protection as a full safety shoe but at a much lower cost. The 'Slipp-R' is a robust piece of PPE that can withstand harsh environments. The 'Slipp-R' has many quality features not found in other steel toe overshoes and it's great to see the PVC-Free aspect being recognized as well."

The 'Slipp-R' is distributed throughout the world with master distributors in Europe and North America.
