Here's an OSHA question, does anyone know of a steel or composite safety toe insert or add-on for boots that won't make me look too dorky or like a cyborg? I got a second pair of some boots I like off eBay but I didn't catch that it's an identical model but without the steel toe my current pair has.

I'm seeing stuff like this that's listed as an "insert" but clearly goes on the outside: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175394793248

Something like that in an actual insert form would be nice. I wouldn't be adverse to some DIY trick like peeling off the rubber on those, if I could know for a fact they'd fit inside afterwards.

You insert your foot in - inserts :awesome:

I think the problem you run into with why there isn't a steel toe insert market is that if you buy shoes or boots that fit you're not going to have room to insert a steel toe.

Cannibalizing a steel toe to cram in is going to be uncomfortable at best and safety defeating at worst, the upper structure is doing some dynamic heavy lifting to keep the toe from can crushing your foot instead.

Not really. It can be a common sore point for safety functions because safety shoe company almost always sell the same thing without steel toes so if your reimbursement structure isn't really guaranteeing what they buy (especially common by the time the relationship is contracting instead of FTE) people will pocket the steel toe money and show up in the mimics.

Sales person I worked with was so proud about telling people they had steel toe shoes when they didn't. They wore very obvious dress shoes that would never have steel toes. :shrug:

Now you have a pair of boots for work, and one for hiking!

I hiked in steel-toes once and it got cold and I learned an important lesson about not hiking in boots with a giant ice cube around my toes, also knocking a bit of weight off!

They sell dress shoes with steel toes for managers and they are probably a safety guy's nightmare because the easy way you check is stepping on their toes with your heel which is gonna be no big deal on a sneaker or a boot but could scuff the precious desk jockeys steel toe dress shoes.

Put a little white handkerchief on their toes before you stomp on them.

I'm in this situation because my steel toe boots and this pair without them I got from eBay are otherwise 100% visually identical.

If you got both pairs you could totally bamboozle your employer.

Three things:

1: It is an extremely long drop into the water. You are definitely going to be at least injured when you hit.

2: A large ship isn't able to stop and simply go back to get you. Once you're in the water you are going to be left behind simply because a ship has that much momentum.

3: Even if they do manage to come around, it'll be almost impossible to spot a person in the water especially since it'll take a while to get there.

Basically: If you fall off a large ship, you are probably going to die very quickly and help is going to get there very slowly, if at all. My advice is to not get on big ships and stay on land.

That's the best best advice.

very occasionally people do survive falling off ships around here

The image in the article raises a question: why not have a small single motor watercraft stored or ready to go in case someone goes overboard? They can't be that expensive and there are probably other situations in which you might want to navigate short distances near the ship.

I was just reading up on flameless ration heaters (packaging says to leave them sealed if you take them on a plane) and saw a choice safety diagram on Wikipedia:

quote:

The instructions advise that the heater should rest against a "rock or something"

I can see why they have restrictions on airline travel, they use similar physics to a shorted battery in order to produce the heat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flameless_ration_heater

That "rock or something" label has been on MREs since at least the 90s.
