Bill 148 will amend the OHSA to prevent an employer from requiring a
worker to wear
footwear with an elevated heel unless it is required to perform the work safely, with the exception of
workers who are employed as performers in the entertainment and advertising
industries.
CONCLUSION: Considering that these problems are important determinants of
worker's health, a combined approach to reduce both stress and MSD symptoms is necessary for prevention and health promotion in the
footwear industry.
