As with workwear, an employee’s footwear should also have anti-static properties. It is often referred to as conductive footwear.

Anti-static or conductive footwear is intended to protect the wearer in an environment where accumulation of static electricity on the body is a hazard in applications such as handling explosives or similarly volatile materials. The footwear is designed to dissipate static electricity from the body to the ground to reduce the possibility of ignition of sensitive explosive mixtures or volatile chemicals.
