What should I know about safety footwear?

If you are at risk for foot injury at your workplace, you should wear the appropriate protective footwear.

If foot protection is required, set up a complete foot safety protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection.

Safety footwear is designed to protect feet against a wide variety of injuries. Impact, compression, and puncture are the most common types of foot injury.

Choose footwear according to the hazard.

Select certified footwear. Ensure that it has the proper rating for the hazard and the proper sole for the working conditions.

Use metatarsal protection (top of the foot between the toes and ankle) where there is a potential for injury.
