In addition, certain jobs include the potential for impact, puncture and chemical contact related injuries to the feet which also must be protected against. This program has been established to provide information and practices to minimize these risks.\nResponsibilities\nManagement and supervisors will be responsible to assure that they and all employees understand the need for proper footwear and for enforcing appropriate disciplinary action procedures where footwear is not worn properly.  Employees are responsible for wearing proper footwear as well as the prevention of abnormal wear to company issued footwear, and the immediate reporting of any defects or deficiencies to their supervisor.\n(Individual’s name) will be responsible for the implementation, evaluation and effectiveness of the Footwear Program. The (Area Supervisor and Safety Designee) will be responsible for evaluating the planned work, both current and new, to reduce or eliminate hazards that would otherwise require the use of protective footwear. Where these hazards cannot be effectively eliminated, protective footwear appropriate to these exposures will be determined and required.\nFailure to wear safety footwear as required by this policy will be treated in accordance with (Insert company name) disciplinary action procedures which include possible termination of employment.\nEmployees will wear footwear appropriate for their assigned work activities and site conditions.\nExamples of appropriate footwear include shoes with:\nClosed toes and defined heels\nLow heels that provide good ankle support and stability (heels 1” or less in height and heel base width 1” minimum)\nNon-slip soles\nNote: Winter footwear should be considered during winter weather conditions.\nExamples of inappropriate footwear include:\nFlip flops or beach shoes\nOpen-toed or open-backed shoes\nSlides or mules (backless shoes)\nSandals\nFootwear with heels greater than 1”\nShoes with spiked heels\nPlatform shoes (soles greater than 1”)\nMolded or plastic “gummy” shoes or \"Crocs\"\nRisk specific footwear\nEmployees working in or around operations resulting in wet or slippery floors are required to wear slip resistant soled shoes. Acceptable slip resistant shoe brands are listed in Chart B below.\nEmployees working in rough terrain or in jobs requiring standing for long periods should wear lace up, over the ankle footwear to provide support and protect against joint injury.\nChemical and water-resistant footwear will be designated in accordance with the anticipated exposures.\nSafety-toed footwear is required for work operations or work site conditions that pose a greater threat of foot injury (see Chart A below). In these instances, shoes or boots provided with safety toe caps, either metal or plastic will be required. For some types of operations, metatarsal guards and puncture resistant soles may also be required.\nAll such safety-toed footwear must meet the requirements and specifications of ANSI Standards Z 41.1.\nFootwear purchase\n(Insert company name) may provide for the purchase of safety footwear for designated full-time, permanent employees and time-limited employees. Reimbursement for safety footwear is not necessarily provided on an automatic annual basis and is based on the need for replacement as deemed appropriate by the supervisor.\nIf an employee has safety footwear which has been damaged by falling or rolling objects, or objects piercing the sole or other types of incidents that may have prevented an injury; the employee may be reimbursed at the supervisor’s discretion taking in account the circumstances involving the accident resulting in the damaged footwear.\nChart: Foot and leg protection\nThe following chart provides general guidance for the proper selection of fo","cbCaivuJjXwp0UUt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivuJjXwp0UUt","docx",39892,"English","# Purpose\n# Responsibilities\n## Management and supervisors\n## Employees\n## Implementation and evaluation\n# Required vs. inappropriate footwear\n# Risk specific footwear\n## Wet or slippery floors\n## Rough terrain and long standing\n## Chemical and water-resistant exposures\n## Safety-toed and puncture-resistant requirements\n# Footwear purchase\n# Chart: Foot and leg protection","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Footwear policy program?\",\"answer\":\"To provide information and practices that minimize risks of slips, falls, and foot injuries from impacts, punctures, and chemical contact in workplace environments.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is responsible for implementing and evaluating the Footwear Program?\",\"answer\":\"(Individual’s name) implements and evaluates effectiveness, while (Area Supervisor and Safety Designee) evaluate current and new planned work to reduce hazards and determine required protective footwear.\"},{\"question\":\"What footwear is considered inappropriate under this policy?\",\"answer\":\"Flip flops or beach shoes, open-toed or open-backed shoes, slides or mules, sandals, shoes with heels greater than 1”, spiked heels, platform shoes, and molded or plastic “gummy” shoes are listed as inappropriate.\"}]","Footwear policy - Safety program | DOCX",1788273228]
