80% of people suffer from foot problems in their adult lives, many of which go unreported and undiagnosed. Foot pains are often the most unreported LTI (lost time incidents) for employers.
The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 state that if a risk has been identified and cannot be controlled in any other way, protective equipment must be provided, and this includes footwear.
Not one size fits all and wearing the incorrect footwear or insoles, can cause severe pain and discomfort, making it difficult to walk or stand for long periods of time.
To help support your staff, Lyreco can offer footwear services to give you peace of mind ensuring your employees are provided with the correct PPE based on their role, environment, foot size and shape.
