Have you ever felt your feet throb at the end of a long day walking, standing or moving around the workplace? It’s unlikely that the aches and pains stopped at the ankles. For most, these seemingly benign ailments continue up the legs and to the back. The physical fatigue of improper foot support not only leads to further pain and greater ailments, but can culminate in slips, trips, and falls.
Day in and day out, workers rely on their feet to assist them in getting the job done. If foot support and protection is ignored, then these employees’ health and wellness is left to chance. In the workplace, slips, trips and falls are seemingly innocent hazards. However, these incidents are some of the leading contributors to injury and even death in the workplace.
