This post describes OSHA protective footwear requirements and how to comply with these approve shoe standards in a way that saves costs for businesses.	

In the U.S., the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (more popularly known as OSHA) sets national standards for employee workplace safety. For example, OSHA requires employers in particular industries to provide employees with protective personal equipment, including footwear. Whether your company has to comply with this mandatory requirement depends on the particular risks inherent in job descriptions and work environments.
