Walking the Walk on Occupational Foot Protection

Occupational Health & Safety: Bloody footprints after an injury, worn finishes, damaged shoes, inappropriate footwear for the job environment -- these and other conditions can cause employees to trip, slip, and fall. If you have a job site, chances are you have a footwear protection issue. It is time to think about how we support our companies' occupational foot protection initiatives and, remember, it's more than shoes. Occupational foot protection covers anything that helps your employee succeed in the workplace and go home without injury. How does your work site rate? Do you have all of the support items in place, such as BBP and cleaning resources and polices, ergonomics, a sound inspection program, and hazard abatement methods to resolve and make changes? Are your managers truly on board?
