There are a few reasons why these injuries occur within the hospitality and restaurant industry

Employees are often on their feet for long periods of time, which can lead to fatigue, musculoskeletal disorders, foot pain, and other injuries.
Additionally, many hospitality industry jobs involve moving around a lot, which can increase the risk of trips and falls.
Many hospitality industry workplaces (such as restaurants) can be hazardous due to uneven floors, slippery floors and other potential hazards.

There are a few things that employers can do to help reduce the risk of foot injuries in the hospitality industry

Firstly, they can make sure that employees have adequate rest breaks and are not on their feet for excessively long periods of time.

Additionally, they can provide employees with appropriate footwear that is comfortable and supports the feet.
