Check your feet frequently for corns, calluses, cracks. Keep your feet warm. Trim your toenails straight across, slightly longer than the end of the toe. Prevent foot problems by visiting your podiatrist as part of your annual health check-up. Wear protective footwear when using lawnmowers, chain-saws, and moving heavy objects.
Protective footwear is essential to ensure safe and healthy feet.
Safety shoes and boots protect your feet, help prevent injuries to them, and reduce the severity of injuries that do occur in the workplace. Only one out of four victims of job-related foot injury wear any type of safety shoe or boot, according to the National Safety Council. The remaining three either are unaware of the benefits of protective footwear or complain about it. Safety footwear is comfortable, flexible, stylish, and still provides protection from injury. The foot is the most valuable part of your body subjected to injury in industry.
