3. • Most people are well aware of the
importance of wearing safety
footwear while on the job. However,
individuals should also evaluate their
current safety footwear for
continued effectiveness.
Occasionally, workplace footwear
needs to be replaced. There are a
number of signs of wear to keep a
look out for.

4. • Many workers wear steel-toe shoes
while on the job to prevent toe
injuries from heavy objects falling
onto their feet. If a steel-toe shoe
becomes dented, it’s a good idea
to replace it. It might not provide the
proper protection should an object
impact the toe area of the shoe
again. Additionally, shoes might
contain metal guards that should be
covered by an outer material. A
guard that is exposed can be a
potential safety hazard. Also,
evaluate the thread on the bottom
of the shoe. If it gets too worn down,
risk of falling increases and
replacement is recommended.
