PROPER ENTRY PROCEDURES: SAFETY

(3) Boot Hazard: Cleanroom boots are made to go over your shoes, so they have a larger footprint than you’re ordinarily used to. The bootstraps that surround your instep and Achilles heel area fasten the boot to the foot, but only loosely.

The free hanging ends of these straps are several inches long, and just like an untied shoelace, can easily trip you up. Use the snaps provided to prevent this.

Also, the soles are made of polyurethane and somewhat slippery, so be sure to fasten your footwear as tightly as possible.
