What does ASTM F2413 mean on safety shoes?
ASTM F2413 is the standard set by ASTM International that safety footwear must meet to be considered protective in U.S. workplaces.
The standard defines tests and minimum performance requirements for different types of protection. Key ratings include:
- I/75 — Impact resistance (75 foot-pounds) at the toe
- C/75 — Compression resistance (2,500 lbs) at the toe
- EH — Electrical hazard protection up to 600 volts
- PR — Puncture resistance in the sole
- Mt — Metatarsal (upper foot) protection
- SD/CD — Static dissipative or conductive properties
OSHA requires employers to provide or mandate footwear meeting the appropriate ASTM F2413 ratings for the hazards present in their workplace. All safety footwear sold by GTIM meets or exceeds current ASTM F2413 standards.

Are employers in Florida required to provide safety shoes to employees?
Yes, in many cases. Under OSHA Standard 1910.136, employers must ensure that workers use protective footwear when working in areas where foot injuries are possible from falling or rolling objects, objects piercing the sole, or electrical hazards.
In Florida, this applies broadly to industries including construction, utilities, manufacturing, warehousing, transit, and government public works. Employers are responsible for identifying foot hazards through a workplace hazard assessment and ensuring workers wear footwear with the appropriate ASTM F2413 ratings. GTIM can assist Florida employers with compliant footwear selection and bulk purchasing through GSA or direct procurement contracts.
