Foot Safety Basics: A 10-Point Checklist

The U.S. industrial market for safety shoes and boots, rubber or plastic boots, and foot and leg guards is estimated at nearly $1 billion. Approximately $70 is spent per employee on foot protection per year. To be sure, industry is doing a lot - and spending a lot - to help prevent foot injuries, to say nothing of slips and falls.

On the flip side, according to the National Safety Council, in 1997 there were 180,000 foot-related workplace injuries. That's 400 cases a day at an estimated $6,000 per incident. A Bureau of Labor Statistics study of foot injuries found 75 percent of the accidents occurred when workers were not in compliance.

A more programmed approach to making foot protection purchases - one that focuses as much on comfort, durability and anti-slip protection as it does on bottom-line pricing - might reduce industry's investment in foot protection while reducing worker injuries. The following checklist outlines steps required to make an informed purchase, including rules, choices, motivation factors and industry trends in foot protection.

1. Understand the rules.

The purpose of a programmed approach to foot protection is to bring your workplace up to specs, to keep your employees safe, to lower your cost of compliance and to provide a convenient way for business owners to stay legal. The emphasis should be "compliance and beyond."

To begin, understand the "big three" federal safety regulations for foot protection:

  • 1. OSHA 1910.132 (d) - hazard assessment within your plant environment;
  • 2. OSHA 1910.136 - occupational foot protection, general requirements; and
  • 3. OSHA 1910.132 (f) a, iv, v - employee training and fitting for protective footwear compliance.

There are other, more specific regulations (see box on page 68), but these outline the premise of the programmed approach to safety: learn, comply and teach.

To stay current with complicated OSHA guidelines and their many regulations is understandably difficult. When you set out to evaluate your foot protection program, employ the expertise of companies and representatives whose primary business is supplying OSHA-approved safety footwear.

2. Understand the scope.

There are two major categories of work-related foot injuries. The first includes foot injuries from punctures, crushing, sprains and lacerations. The second includes those resulting from slips, trips and falls. Taken together, the two categories represent nearly 25 percent of all disabling injuries.

In addition, there is a whole range of foot problems associated with workplace conditions, including calluses, ingrown toenails and tired feet. Although not occupational injuries in the strictest sense, their associated discomfort, pain and fatigue have a direct impact on productivity and can lead to further injuries.

3. Choose an auditor.

A complete facility analysis is the perfect way to launch a comprehensive protective footwear program. The audit works best when a trained third-party professional - either a footwear manufacturer representative or dedicated safety distributor, or both - is invited to walk through the plant and observe foot protection use, or lack thereof, in every area of the facility.

The third-party approach is ideal because you draw on the expertise of qualified foot protection specialists. The approach also removes bias and encourages dialogue from employees. Safety distributors offer the experience gained from years of solving problems like those in your facility. In addition, the safety distributor will carry multiple lines of footwear, turning "a complete line" into "many complete lines."

A good place to start a safety audit is a thorough examination of the plant's injury rate. By working together to analyze these records, plant safety professionals and auditors can develop objectives for the rest of the survey.

4. Engineer problems away.

Remember the fundamental principle of occupational health and safety: Occupational hazards should be eliminated at the source. Through careful observation of plant or work site processes, the auditor will be able to recognize potential foot injury or slip hazards and plan for their elimination. If a hazard can be engineered out of the process, protection in that case becomes unnecessary. Tips that may improve workplace design:

  • Regulate areas where pedestrian traffic and mobile equipment meet to help avoid crushed feet and toes. Consider installing safety mirrors and warning signs. Also consider designated pedestrian pathways.
  • Check that proper guarding is in place on chain saws, rotary mowers and other power equipment and machinery that can cause cuts or severed feet or toes.
  • Improved housekeeping can prevent loose nails and other sharp objects from causing puncture injuries, as well as slips and falls.
  • Stairs, ramps and passageways are hot spots for trips and falls. Use color contrast and angular lighting to improve depth of vision.

5. Ask the people who know.

The next step in the process is to get down to the plant floor. Talk to the workers who face a facility's hazards every day. Discuss the types of hazards they face, and then address comfort, sizing, distribution, training and other issues affecting compliance.

When workers are part of a solution, they will be more likely to support the implementation of any change in the program. Because cost is almost always a factor, the analysis should include input from the purchasing department.

6. Pick the protection.

Safety footwear includes steel toe, nonmetal toe, metatarsal-guarded, slip-resistant, dielectric, conductive, cold environment, heat-resistant, chemical-resistant, bloodborne pathogen and fatigue protection. Add style - including heavy-duty work boots and shoes, as well as dress, casual, athletic and hiker-styled protective footwear - and the picture becomes even more complex. It's not hard to understand how choice can itself become a hazard.

Although the final decision on personal protective equipment (PPE) and the responsibility for that decision is yours, it helps to narrow the focus. The safety distributor or manufacturer who performed the safety audit should detail the findings in a written report and offer a plan for improving the situation. The plan must recommend the proper levels of protection for each job, information that only professionals familiar with a complete line of protection and their possible applications could provide.

7. Get the footwear to the feet.

How the footwear gets to the worker is a matter of choice. Employer-paid distribution methods include traditional distributors, catalog companies, shoemobiles, voucher programs (redeemable at retail stores), Web-based solutions or an on-premise store operated by a distributor or integrated supply partner.

The on-site safety center is the most complete system. The centers provide support for much more than footwear. They provide some companies with the answer to all safety issues, including staffing, sourcing, dispensing and recordkeeping. The centers carry a complete line of safety products and offer a number of personal service functions, including eyewear prescription work, footwear fitting, respirator testing and maintenance.

In commercial terms, the centers offer nearly 100 percent inventory reduction, elimination of in-house processing time for purchase orders, elimination of sourcing time for spot buys, 24-hour emergency availability and supplier-provided staffing.

8. Comfort equals compliance.

The old adage too often is true: "When your feet hurt, you hurt all over."

While difficult to measure, fatigue can be a contributor to accidents. Lightweight, more comfortable footwear choices mean people will grow less tired during the long workday and, hence, less likely to have a fatigue-related mishap.

Structurally, boots should fit snugly around the heel and ankle when laced (protective footwear should always be laced up fully; high-cut boots provide support against ankle injury). The shoe must have no heel or a low, wide-based heel, because heels contribute to fatigue. Consider using shock-absorbing insoles where the job requires walking or standing on hard floors.

As for the fit, boots and shoes should have ample toe room (toes should be about 12.5 mm from the front). Footwear that is too tight will not stretch with wear. Have both feet measured when buying shoes because it is normal that feet differ in size. Shoes should be purchased that fit the larger size. Buy shoes late in the afternoon when feet are likely to be swollen to their maximum size.

Employees should own at least two pair of protective footwear. The "breaking-in" process can often cause blisters and discomfort and can be avoided by rotating between old and new shoes.

9. Training is mandatory: Good training is better.

Certain elements of PPE training are mandatory, including how and when to wear, the limitations of, and how to put on and remove the equipment. You must also teach the proper care, maintenance, useful life and disposal of the PPE. After training, OSHA mandates that employees demonstrate that they "get it" and that employers file written records of persons trained, the type of training provided and dates when training occurred.

That's training. Good training requires a little more spit and polish.

Timing. Each lesson should be designed to take seven to 10 minutes of an employee's time. All lessons can be taken in one session, or the training can be easily broken up into multiple sessions. Any more than 10 minutes and you risk losing your audience.

Pre-test. If this is the worker's first time taking the lesson, a pre-test will establish how much of the material he or she already knows. It also lets the employee know where the training is going.

Educate. Make sure the meat of the lesson is planned in advance; the manufacturer or safety distributor with whom you've partnered may have packaged programs. Good training should encourage participation. During the lesson, workers should participate in interest-arousing interactions, practice activities and emergency simulations.

Answer questions. After the lesson, ask your workers questions. Written questions should be read aloud to help those who might have poor reading or comprehension skills. Quizzes can take the form of crossword puzzles, multiple choice or fill in the blanks. The quiz can be serious or fun, as long as the questions reinforce the training.

Motivate. Workers need to be reminded of the company's commitment to safety. Hang posters, develop incentive programs and place safety-related articles in the company newsletter. Again, packaged program materials may be available; discuss with your distribution partner.

10. Keep up with the trends.

Current focus is shifting from the "price" of the shoe or boot to the "value" of the protective footwear program. Companies should seek the true full cost of the footwear solution. For example, the cost to an employer of a slip injury is conservatively estimated at more than $20,000 when direct, indirect and ripple costs are considered. Therefore, saving a few pennies on footwear is significantly outweighed by the cost to an employer for just a single accident that might have been avoided.

The definition of value must include a discussion of durability. More and more, buyers are considering the cost associated with three pairs of $45 shoes vs. one pair of $95 shoes, or 12 pair of $10 PVC boots vs. one pair of polyurethane boots at $60.

In the end, an intricate balance between protection, cost and wearability/comfort defines value. The perfect foot protection is rarely the thickest and stiffest boot, impervious to any hazard. Nor is it the cheapest pair, despite the importance of a good price. More likely, true value is somewhere in between.

Safety Shoes – 8 Ways They Protect You

EASY ON THE BUDGET. BIG ON RESULTS. - $200 OFF LT4

When you think about shoes for the workplace, heavy-duty footwear such as steel toe boots may come to mind. These boots, which have reinforced toes to protect the feet from hazards such as heavy objects, are important personal protective equipment (PPE) at many industrial and construction worksites.

Many kinds of shoes exist that can make jobs safer, though, not just steel toe boots. Other types of boots and shoes can provide traction, arch support and other safety benefits. To find the right foot protection for the jobs in your workplace, you’ll need to do a hazard assessment and determine what kinds of risks—such as slipping and falling or sharp objects—pose a threat to your employees’ feet. Then select shoes or boots that offer the right protection.

Shoes may not seem as critical to workplace safety as protective eyewear or gloves, but footwear provides many benefits. If anyone in your workplace doubts the value of investing in footwear, offer him or her some of the ways safety shoes can keep workers safe.

Functions of Safety Shoes

Work Shoes, Safety Shoes, Footwear

Foot injuries can be debilitating, resulting in time away from work or difficulty performing a job. Wearing safety shoes or boots can help prevent many foot injuries in the following ways.

1. Protect from Falling & Flying Objects

When workers carry heavy materials or work in dynamic environments where many people, machines and vehicles are operating at once, falling and flying objects are common hazards. Protective shoes like steel toe boots can effectively prevent crushing injuries to the feet.

2. Protect from Punctures  

When workers could step on sharp objects or be struck by sharp objects from above, shoes with heavy-duty soles and thick materials surrounding the foot offer the best protection. At construction worksites, for example, many sharp objects could be in someone’s path. A soft-soled shoe might not provide enough protection.

3. Protect from Cutting Hazards

Machinery that is sharp or contains moving parts can pose cutting hazards. Workers in the logging industry, for example, face dangers from chainsaws. If a chainsaw were to come in contact with someone’s foot, the result could be catastrophic. Logging boots—which are required by OSHA under standard 29 CFR 1910.266(d)(1)(v) —made with cut-resistant material will protect those workers who use chainsaws. These boots are also waterproof or water repellant and support the ankles.

4. Protect from Electrical Hazards

Electricity poses a variety of risks in the workplace. Workers could face potential electric shocks or accumulate static electricity, which can lead to electric sparks in certain environments.

To reduce the chances of an electrical accident, non-conductive footwear made from leather, rubber or other materials that don’t conduct electricity can be worn. In locations where the build-up of static on the body poses a hazard, anti-static or conductive footwear can be used. These options reduce the amount of static that accumulates on the body, preventing static electric sparks.

5. Prevent Slips, Trips & Falls

Safety Shoes, Footwear, Foot Protection

Slips, trips and falls can happen in any workplace and result in many accidents annually . Businesses can take steps such as implementing housekeeping measures and installing anti-slip floor tape to reduce the risks of these mishaps. Proper footwear can also provide additional protection against slips, trips and falls.

Shoes with appropriate traction can help prevent falls on the same level in slippery environments. They can also prevent falls from ladders, which are all too common when people don’t wear shoes with proper treads.

Footwear that fits well and feels comfortable can also improve balance, which will help prevent slips, trips and falls, too.

6. Prevent Fatigue

For workers who stand all day, especially on hard surfaces like concrete, fatigue can be a real problem. Muscles in the feet as well as the legs, back and other parts of the body grow tired, and the situation can be worsened when employees don’t wear appropriate footwear. Shoes that provide adequate cushioning and arch support can make people more comfortable, which alleviates strain on muscles. This means employees will grow fatigued less quickly. Employees who are less fatigued will be more alert, so they will likely do their jobs more safely and more efficiently.

Preventing muscle strain will also help protect against musculoskeletal disorders  such as chronic lower back pain, too.

7. Prevent Burns

Burns from fire can happen in the workplace, but so can burns from chemicals and even from common workplace materials like cement . Footwear made from durable materials can prevent burns from chemicals splashes, molten metal splashes and other dangerous substances that could injure the skin on the feet.

8. Protect from Extreme Weather

We all know that cold weather can lead to injuries such as frost bite and hypothermia, and those dangers shouldn’t be overlooked in the workplace. People who work outside in the winter are at risk, as well as employees who work in wet or refrigerated environments.

Furthermore, the cold can exacerbate some less known workplace injuries. For example, Raynaud’s Syndrome is a disease where the fingers can turn white from poor blood flow. This condition, related to vibration from power tool use, is made worse when employees are exposed to cold temperatures. In some cases, this disorder can impact the feet , too, so keeping the feet warm and comfortable in conjunction with other measures for keeping the body warm is important.

Not all footwear is waterproof or insulated to provide protection against the cold, rain and snow, so be sure to select shoe options that are made from appropriate materials.  

Don’t Forget the OSHA Regulations

Safety Label, PPE

OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.136(a)  states:

The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses protective footwear when working in areas where there is a danger of foot injuries due to falling or rolling objects, or objects piercing the sole, or when the use of protective footwear will protect the affected employee from an electrical hazard, such as a static-discharge or electric-shock hazard, that remains after the employer takes other necessary protective measures.

Make sure your business follows the requirements and selects the appropriate safety shoes. Doing so will improve safety and comfort, which will make your employees happy, too.
