Industrial workers are aware of the risks posed to them on a day-to-day basis and by law they are required to wear protective clothing that is compliant with health and safety regulations. In the service industry, however, this is not the case; fashion or athletic footwear that is not slip resistant is commonplace. In an environment where wet and greasy floors are unavoidable, it is inevitable that 29% of all work related injuries are through slips, trips and falls. This remains the single most common cause of major injury in the UK[1]. In fact, slips, trips and falls are the highest cause of injury in the service industry. Considering each year workplace injuries are said to cost the UK economy around £5.3 billion,[2] the need for service industry workers to wear footwear tailored towards safety should be imperative.
