Foot Protection


To protect feet and legs from falling objects, moving machinery, sharp objects, hot materials, chemicals, or slippery surfaces, employees should wear closed-toed shoes, boots, foot guards, leggings, or safety shoes as appropriate. Safety shoes are designed to protect people from the most common causes of foot injuries - impact, compression, and puncture. Special foot protection is also available for protection against static electricity, sparks, live electricity, corrosive materials, and slipping.

NOTE:
Foot protection is particularly important in laboratory, agricultural, and construction work.

¡IMPORTANT!
Do not wear sandals or open-toed shoes in laboratories, shops, or other potentially hazardous areas.
