[quote]It's a policy of our company that everyone who works or enters the main production buildings has to wear (as a minimum) ear, eye, head and foot protection. To that end, they supply everyone with helmets, ear plugs (defenders), glasses (masks) and safety boots (shoes). [/quote]
some of the plant's I have visited have the same requirements. On the other hand I never worked in one. When I was in a plant environment it was always as a tour when I was there for meetings or other stuff. I always loved the tours, always fun to see where your pay check really comes from.
But it was not only work boots, I don't own winter boots. The last ones I had were a pair of Kodiaks back in highschool
back in the mid 80's
