Are High Heels Mandatory At Workplace? British Colombia Ends Requirement For Women To Wear Heels At Work
The Canadian province of British Columbia has amended its workplace legislation Friday that required women employees to wear high heels at work.
The press release issued by the government of British Colombia (BC) said: "the requirement is discriminatory as well as being a health and safety issue because they are dangerous."
It also said that: "high heel wearers face a risk of physical injury from slipping or falling as well as possible damage to the feet, legs and back. Footwear should be designed to allow workers to operate safely."
