     • Where employees are exposed to hazards that could injure their feet. Examples of these hazards are:

     – Falling objects

     – Rolling objects

     – Piercing/cutting injuries

     – Electrical hazards

     • That meets specific ANSI requirements. (Most commercially available PPE is marked with specific ANSI requirements.)
