Respected Safety Product Targeted for the Home and Garden

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) January 4, 2007

Toe injuries accounted for 1 percent of all days lost in the workplace during 2005. Over 230,000 people treated in North American emergency rooms each year as a result of accidents in the home and garden and over 80,000 are caused by lawnmowers.

"We think oversight bodies do a great job in the workplace but more can be done to prevent toe injuries at home," said Patrick Smyth (aka Mister Safetytoes) of Safetytoes International Inc of Toronto. "With our 'Protect Your Piggies' slogan, and 'Don't mow without your toes' mantra, we are working hard to raise awareness for our "Slipp-R' safetytoes."

Smyth's company, through numerous web portals, is hoping to make 2007 the year of the breakthrough for safetytoes in the home and garden markets. "Our 'Slipp-R' safetytoe sees a return to the best in the two components that define a safetytoe."

Safetytoes International Inc has designed a stylish rubber-based galosh that combines good looks with important safety features. Safetytoes can withstand impact up to 200 Joules and resist compression of the toe in the event of a direct hit to the foot. "Not too long ago rubber galoshes were commonplace items in our homes. Back then we could only protect our shoes. Now, with the 'Slipp-R' safetytoe we can protect our shoes, feet and toes."

Safetytoes have been gaining popularity in the workplace where they are approved attire for toe protection in certain situations. They are OSHA compliant and CE approved for Europe. However, if the safetytoes look gawky, or are poorly fitting, people won't wear them," said Smyth who has personally accepted the challenge to get his Italian designed 'Slipp-R' safetytoes into homes and gardens. "Some industry people have wondered if we're crazy, but I say no -- just not greedy."

Safetytoes International Inc has developed a humorous ad campaign and will harness the web to get its home and garden message out. Smyth said it "feels good" to be taking a vitally important industrial product into homes and "help reduce preventable incidents."

"Now it's possible to purchase one, two or three pairs of the 'Slipp-R' brand of safetytoes for all the family, for roughly the cost of one pair of safety boots."
