Foot Protection. Appropriate foot protection shall be required for employees who are exposed to potential foot injuries from electrical hazards; hot, corrosive, poisonous substances; falling objects; or crushing or penetrating actions, which may cause injuries, or who are required to work in abnormally wet locations. Each employing department that provides vouchers for the purchase of safety footwear is to evaluate the employee need and, if any of the above criteria is met, a department must either furnish a voucher for the purchase of the appropriate footwear or, if the department does not provide vouchers, it must provide additional non-pensionable compensation for reimbursement for purchasing department-required safety footwear. Payment for reimbursement of employee-purchased safety footwear shall not exceed one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00), including tax, per calendar year, and shall be paid during the month of February in 2016, 2017 & 2018 during the term of this MOU, unless a different annual scheduled is agreed to by both the Union and the CAO. Departments that provide vouchers are to make them available for distribution according to the same schedule as the above-purchase reimbursement payments, but no more than annually. Employees who purchase a pair of safety shoes over one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00) may do so and pay the extra cost out of their own pocket.
