I remember working at a small organization and when we hired a safety

officer the first new requirement was a shoes policy in the machine shop.

Apparently, metal shavings all over the floor wasn't enough to deter people

from walking around barefoot...



I wonder what would hurt more? stepping on a metal shaving, a lego block,

or an upside down DIP component...
