This is a Complex Supplement from the U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex in Coleman, Florida, dated February 14, 2020, focusing on occupational safety, environmental compliance, and fire protection specifically related to safety shoes. The document provides comprehensive guidelines for employees and inmates regarding safety shoe requirements, with the primary objective of reducing traumatic injuries in high-hazard areas through mandated protective footwear.

Key details include that a work pair of safety-toed shoes will be issued to affected staff initially per labor management agreement, with an additional pair every nine months, and shoes will be low or high quarter type with leather uppers and hard toes meeting ASTM F2413-05 standards. The document lists 11 designated foot hazard areas, including Mechanical Service Staff areas, Warehouse, Commissary, UNICOR Factories, and Correctional Services areas. Special provisions are outlined for different personnel, such as requiring high-top safety shoes for welding operations and dielectric boots for electricians working with energized equipment, with exemptions and assignments carefully detailed for both staff and inmates.
