Shoes must be black leather or vinyl and must cover the entire foot. In order to comply with OSHA's 29 CFR, Part 1910, General Industry regulations, Subpart I, Personal Protective Equipment, 1910.132 General Requirements, all Team Members and Managers are required, as a condition of employment, to use slip-resistant footwear. There is no “approved vendor” restriction on footwear; although employees may choose to participate in payroll-deduction plans, employees are in no way obligated to purchase shoes from the employer or any agent thereof. However, per OSHA requirements (as cited above), any footwear used in the restaurant must be rated as “slip-resistant” with soles and heels in good condition (not worn or damaged), meeting or exceeding the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard Z41-1991.16.
