Used to this law blanketed everyone in warehousing. Companies have found though that it is not as simple as that. My 1st job doesn't require them (Osha ok with it) and we deal with up to 70 lbs in my warehouse. Other warehouses in this company have heavier stuff and still do not require steeltoes. However the manufacturing plants do require them.
Coooool beans!
This store has a “test ramp” so you can try out your safety boots on different surfaces
I don't get it...I push and kick heavy packages with my boots all the time. I'd have so many broken toes if I wore sneakers...so not worth it.
Don't do this. The Walmart ones may save your toes but after a month when the boot wears out they kill your feet. Done this 3 times in the last 10 years on boots and 2 on tennis shoes. Will never buy another shoe at Walmart as long as i live and i dont care what brand it is.
Picking off is easier on the foot to box contact, but you have to stand in one place on metal grating for 4-6 hours. They buy the anti-slip fatigue mats with a hard plastic top that are not any better than standing on the grating itself. My insoles that i buy for the boots i currently wear, wear out constantly. 2 months ago I bought a set of insoles that have a 1 yr guarentee, but already need to pull the receipt because they are basically worn the hell out.
I disagree...everybody's feet are different....but I've been buying the same brand of Walmart boots for 8 years...with the Dr Scholls gel insoles...they are comfortable as hell. I may only get 4 months outta them but that's what I'd expect for 40 bucks. I wore out a pair of $180 Redwing boots in 6 months on preload. I'll stick with these.
This is true! it is also a good way to get out of work and play the No Shoe Card on em.
Special Ed!
I don't BELIEVE YOU!
The real test would be if this thing really moved like a treadmill

NO! BUT In our hub it was just happen to be and inspection that day Don't know who came to see us but in other cases they would of never told me anything.. I think I don't know maybe I should test it with Goin in and playing it off and see if they send me home
Yeah! This is true it's because there is no true leadership in the warehouse it also changes with management to they used to be real hard on us about the steel toe on and stuff now if you talk em down they will just say Slip Resistance, or All Leather Well which is it your confusing me!
