Steel-toed safety shoes are recommended for many types of work. What type of work activity would be an exception to the rule and where steel-toed shoes would NOT be recommended?

Correct Answer: Option D — Electrical maintenance work

Steel-toed boots are conductive and pose a severe electrical shock hazard. When performing electrical maintenance, personnel must wear non-conductive, dielectric footwear to prevent the body from becoming a path to ground, thereby mitigating the risk of electrocution in the event of an accidental contact with energized circuits.
