Question
2 pieces of metal embedded in the soles of electrically insulated protective footwear could pose what type of hazard?
a. puncture wound to the bottom of the foot
b. burn due to heat transfer
c. electrical hazard
Electrically insulated footwear is designed to prevent electrical current from passing through the wearer. Metal is a conductor, so embedded metal in the soles would break the insulation, allowing electrical current to flow through the foot, creating an electrical hazard. Puncture wounds are not related to the electrical insulation function, and heat transfer burns are not the primary risk here.
