What is ANSI Z41 PT-99?

ANSI Z41 PT-99 is a standard established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) that outlines the safety requirements for protective footwear. It specifies performance criteria for various types of safety shoes, including those designed for specific hazards such as impact, compression, and slip resistance. The standard aims to ensure that footwear provides adequate protection in workplaces where foot injuries may occur. Although it has been superseded by ASTM F2413, it played a significant role in the development of safety footwear standards.
