I have not come upon this particular issue, but I have had a coworker who 
had to wear a leg brace and was on crutches.  She is not allowed to work 
in the lab, due to the possible issue with her hurting herself or others 
in the lab.  For us, any open toe situation is not permitted in the lab 
areas.  I am not sure if the lab areas that your person works in, has 
hazardous chemicals or not.  My suggestions is that if her normal 
responsibilities are to work in the lab with hazardous chemicals, then she 

should do something else.  I don't think that there is a proper way to 
cover the foot/toes with a large boot on.

[DCHAS-L] Broken Foot and Open-toed Shoes


We have a graduate student in our Chemistry Department who broke her foot 
and is now wearing a boot that has open toes for the next 6-8 weeks (no 
crutches).  Has anybody come up against this situation before and do you 
know of any protective devices that can be worn and still allow the 
student to work in the lab while meeting the ?no open-toed shoes in lab? 
requirements?  Thanks for your help.
