Footwear Safety
GPS challenge of the week…Footwear! There are two major categories of work-related foot injuries. The first category includes punctures, crushing, sprains, and lacerations. The second group of injuries includes those resulting from slips, trips and falls.
There is no workplace where a worker is immune to foot injury, but you the worker wearing the appropriate footwear can help prevent injury.
In a warehouse or industrial environment: vary your tasks, do not carry items that are too heavy, select the right tool for the task at hand, lift with your legs not your back, stretch.
