Should I wear safety shoes in work place?
some of the most frequent potential hazards

Electrical Hazards

Electrical hazard boots are an essential piece of PPE for anyone working around electricity. This could be an electrical worker or someone who works around circuits or high voltage machinery. This footwear is manufactured with non-conductive, electrical shock-resistant soles and heels. These kinds of shoes prevent the worker from completing an electrical circuit; this can reduce the chance of electrocution.

Explosives

If you work around explosives or other highly reactive or flammable substances, you will likely need electrically conductive shoes. Electrically conductive work footwear helps prevent the buildup of static electricity on the worker. Without this precaution, static buildup on your body could easily generate a spark that could cause a fire or explosion. Silk, wool and nylon socks should not be worn in this type of work environment or with this type of shoe, as those materials are more likely to produce static as well.

Chainsaws

Working with chainsaws, or any other rotating blades make protective footwear absolutely necessary. Cut-resistant chainsaw boots (and other cut-resistant clothing) can prevent serious injuries in the face of an accident involving a chainsaw. These are made from specific materials that create a protective barrier from spinning blades.

Falling Objects

If you are at risk of falling items, you will surely want safety toe boots. These are boots that have a capping over the toe area for protection. These toe cappings were traditionally made of steel, hence steel-toed boots. However, now they are also available in composite materials.

Sharp Objects

Sharp objects on the floor pose a workplace hazard. Sharp objects, like nails or screws, can puncture through the soles of regular shoes and injure your foot. Puncture-resistant footwear includes a steel or composite plate positioned within the midsole to protect from the dangers of stepping on sharp and jagged objects.

Rolling Objects or Machines

Some work footwear has additional protection along the metatarsal region (the top of your foot). If you have ever dropped anything on the top of your foot, you know how much it can hurt. Metatarsal boots are good for work environments where rolling objects or machines present a risk. Any job that involves heavy machinery, heavy loads, or dangerous conditions can require the use of metatarsal boots.
