SafetySam Unveils WORKSafe Greta Safety Boot
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 15 August 2025 - SafetySam, Singapore's provider of safety solutions and workwear, is proud to announce a new product launch—the WORKSafe Greta Safety Boot. Born from Craftsmanship, Built for the Field Known as 'Generally Resistant Enough To Anything', the Greta boot is a rugged innovation designed for industrial professionals who rely on their footwear every day. The new product launch demonstrates the blend of traditional leather craftsmanship with cutting-edge safety performance. After the success of its sneaker-style WORKSafe Starfire, SafetySam sought to create something more timeless. Inspired by classic leather boots and the designer's own appreciation for Goodyear-welted construction, Greta was developed to meet a clear gap in the Singapore market: a durable, stylish, and functional safety boot that doesn't compromise in wet or high-intensity work environments. 'Cemented and injection-moulded soles just don't cut it in our humid climate,' said Jeffrey Seah, General Manager at PDS International. 'We needed a boot that wouldn't split, would age well, and still meet the demands of modern workers.' What Sets Greta Apart Greta is certified to EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 and SS513:2005. It has been field-tested and endorsed by workers across construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and logistics sectors. The new product launch introduces a range of features to deliver protection, performance, and durability. Goodyear-Welted Construction for water resistance and long-lasting durability (WR). Natural Latex Outsole with superior grip and hot contact resistance (HRO). Free Lacing System for quick on-and-off without sacrificing style. Metatarsal Impact Gel Guard (M) to shield the top of the foot. Penetration-Resistant Sole (PS) that's non-metallic yet highly protective. Antistatic Protection (A) to guard against electrostatic discharge. Energy Absorption Heel (E) and PU/PE insole for fatigue-free comfort over long shifts. HBR lining is a waterproof, breathable membrane that contributes to the overall shoe achieving S7S compliance. Who Is Greta For? The new product launch targets the following groups: Construction and Civil Engineering – where falling objects and heavy impacts are daily risks. Oil and Gas / Marine – where exposure to fluids, heat, and slippery surfaces is constant. Heavy Manufacturing – where hot metals, debris, and rough terrain challenge every step. Logistics and Warehousing – where long hours on concrete demand both comfort and support. The Story Behind the Boot: Greta and the Wild West As with all great WORKSafe products, Greta is brought to life through SafetySam's original comic series. This time, Sam is thrust into a Wild West multiverse—a tribute to the rugged origins of leather boots. There, he combines old-world techniques with modern safety innovations, mirroring the real-world development process behind Greta. 'The Wild West aesthetic captures the spirit of Greta—gritty, independent, and ready for anything,' as revealed by Crystal Heng, Marketing Manager at PDS International. 'It's a fun, narrative-driven way to express the soul of the product.' The comic not only reflects the journey of a boot but also conveys a belief: workwear can be both legendary and practical. Authentic Launch, Real Connections The product launch is in line with SafetySam's long-standing community—those who've supported the brand's evolution from the ground up. The campaign now expands across digital platforms, social media, and storytelling content designed to resonate with both seasoned tradespeople and a new generation of users. Notably, SafetySam is actively exploring partnerships. It is seeking content creators, industrial influencers, and distributors who share the same appreciation for quality craftsmanship and purpose-driven gear.

Best cars for dog owners: In the market for a used motor? Pick with your pooch in mind with models starting from £5K
DOGS are as much a part of the family as kids. So, when you get a new pet you might need to upgrade your car to make sure they're comfy. 1 FIND ON SUN MOTORS Picking the right car is probably harder for a pet than children as dogs come in all shapes and sizes, and there is plenty to factor in. If you've got a big dog, you'll want a big car with a decent-sized boot so it can move around on any journeys. Dogs also get travel sick, so choose a motor with a smooth ride - plus ensure the area you're stowing your pet is well ventilated. Look for cars with anchor points in the boot, plus child locks to stop your mutt making a run for it - those that can be fitted with a dog guard are also worth looking at. And make sure you also pick a car that doesn't have a high load lip in the boot if your dog is only small. If they can't leap up easily, you probably want to look elsewhere. Here's six of the best used cars with prices starting at just £3,299. Mazda CX-5 FIND HERE While the Mazda's SUV might not have room for seven people, it has plenty of boot space for man's best friend. It's one of the best value large SUV's on the market, and is as practical as it is stylish. Perfect for any adventure, you can easily pack in the whole family along with your pup and have room to spare. There are models available on Sun Motors starting from £4,499. Skoda Superb Estate FIND HERE Skoda is not to be overlooked when it comes to dog-friendly cars. The Superb Estate gives you space and practicality at excellent value. Your back can rest easy as the low loading sill allows your pooch to hop into the back with little effort. The 660-litre capacity is perhaps the biggest selling point and there's an added bonus of a four-wheel drive for rural explorers and adventure-seekers. You can find used models on Sun Motors starting from £5,795. Kia Sportage FIND HERE The most popular family SUV from the South Korean manufacturer, the Sportage is most attractive for its interior space. Dog owners can add a trunk sill protector to prevent scratches while their pet enjoys the giant boot. And the simplistic motor tends to hold its value better than most in its category. There are used models currently available on Sun Motors from just £3,989. Dacia Logan MCV FIND HERE Don't let the price of this addition from Dacia fool you, the load area and boot space of this budget option rivals that of a car three or four times the price, with 573 litres of space. The overall equipment may seem fairly basic and the black and grey plastics may not be the most pleasing on the eye, but on a practical level, the ample space and easy to clean interior make this a perfect choice for dog owners on a tight budget. Find used models on Sun Motors starting from £3,299. Skoda Karoq FIND HERE One of the most comfortable drives from Skoda, the Karoq is an update on their Yeti model. It comes with a range of features, and offers a touch of luxury for a great price. A luggage compartment mat and partition net screen can also be added for your dog. Find used models on Sun Motors from £7,495. Citroen C4 Cactus FIND HERE With a somewhat less quirky design than previous versions of the Cactus, Citroen has still managed to create a small family car that delivers when it comes to safety and comfort. The unique rear window design will give dog owners peace of mind as they hinge outwards rather than slide down, meaning owners no longer need to worry about their poodles getting their head stuck out the window. Find used models from £3,495.
