The document discusses foot safety and protection in the workplace. It identifies common causes of foot problems like blisters, calluses and fungal infections that can result from long periods of standing, poorly fitted footwear, and sweaty feet. Potential foot hazards at work include impact injuries, burns and injuries from spills of liquids, compression from heavy machinery, and extremes of cold, heat and moisture. Proper footwear selection and care, including regular inspection and replacement of worn shoes, can help control these hazards. Safety shoes with steel toes, metatarsal guards and puncture resistant soles are recommended for different work tasks and environments.
