Workers should wear appropriate safety shoes or boots to protect their feet from workplace hazards like falling objects, sharp objects, molten metal, hot surfaces, and wet or slippery floors. Proper footwear is important for preventing injuries, but it also promotes overall well-being by reducing problems like blisters, corns, and foot fatigue. Employers should consider job design, workstations, flooring, and allow for rest breaks to further improve foot safety and comfort.
