The daily demands of your job, walking, standing for long periods, lifting, jumping on/off machinery – all place your feet under pressure. While you are working your feet may absorb up to three times your body weight and working feet can travel up to 25 kilometres a day!
The work environment can sometimes create health risks for your feet. Hazardous conditions, such as slippery floors, wet conditions, extreme heat/cold, put your feet at risk of injury and can lead to foot problems.
You can maintain your foot health being aware of hazards and reporting any foot pain/discomfort, making sure your shoes fit for your workplace.
Remember feet shouldn’t hurt, sore feet are generally sign of problems. Visit our podiatrist if you are experiencing foot problems.
Learn about our custom work orthotics that are designed to enhance your comfort, promote proper alignment, and minimize the risk of foot-related issues, ensuring that you can perform your job effectively and with confidence.
