Foot ProtectionEmployers must assure that each employee wears
heavy duty logging boots that are waterproof or water repellant, and cover and provide
support to the ankle. If the employee uses a chain saw, the footwear must be constructed
with cut-resistant material that will protect against contact with a running chain saw.
Calk soled boots are acceptable when they are required for the employee's job.
- Underwriters Laboratories (UL) currently tests and labels foot protection which meets
minimum cut resistance requirements. (Reference ASTM F1818-97)
