ANSI and ASTM Standards for OSHA Compliant Safety Shoes

In the United States, all work environments are subject to regulation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is a division of the US Department of Labour. The responsibility of the OSHA is to ensure employee safety in the workplace, and the organization accomplishes this task by setting and enforcing a number of relevant standards.
在美国，所有工作环境均受美国劳工部下属的职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）的监管。 OSHA的职责是确保工作场所的员工安全，并且组织通过制定和执行许多相关标准来完成此任务。

These standards cover every aspect of the workplace, including Personal Protective Equipment or PPE. PPE is necessary when workers are liable to be subject to dangers that cannot be avoided by the employer. This article will look at protective footwear which falls under the PPE standards required by the OSHA.
这些标准涵盖了工作场所的各个方面，包括个人防护设备或个人防护设备。 当工人容易遭受雇主无法避免的危险时，PPE是必需的。 本文将介绍符合OSHA要求的PPE标准的防护鞋。

防护鞋需要什么标准？
The OSHA incorporates standards produced by an independent nonprofit organization called ASTM International, or simply ASTM. The OSHA used to include standards produced by the American National Standards Institute, or ANSI, but these were replaced by the ASTM for protective footwear standards in 2005.
OSHA纳入了由独立的非营利组织ASTM International（简称ASTM）制定的标准。 OSHA曾经包括美国国家标准协会（ANSI）制定的标准，但在2005年被ASTM替换为防护鞋标准。

The OSHA standards cover three important aspects of protective footwear:
OSHA标准涵盖了防护鞋的三个重要方面：

Performance Requirements - These are the physical performance specifications, e.g. compression resistance or the maximum amount of weight/pressure that the shoe will protect the wearer from.
性能要求-这些是物理性能规格，例如耐压性或鞋将保护穿着者免受的最大重量/压力。
Testing Standards - All protective shoes must undergo standardized tests in an independent laboratory to ensure they meet the required physical performance requirements.
测试标准-所有防护鞋都必须在独立的实验室中进行标准化测试，以确保它们符合所需的物理性能要求。
Standard Labelling - All protective footwear sold as OSHA compliant must be labeled according to a standard format.
标准标签-所有按照OSHA标准销售的防护鞋都必须按照标准格式进行标签。
