# §150.612. What footwear is required?


The deepwater port operator must ensure that while personnel are working in an area, or engaged in activities, where there is a reasonable probability for foot injury to occur, they wear footwear that complies with [29 CFR 1910.136](/cfr/29/1910.136.md), except for when environmental conditions exist that present a hazard greater than that against which the footwear is designed to protect.
