How to Choose the Right Safety Shoe for Your Industry in Nigeria
Share
Safety footwear is essential across industries, but many buyers in Nigeria still choose safety shoes based on price or appearance — not the hazards they face at work.
At Trevacore, we believe safety goes beyond looks or cost.
The real question is:
