Which of these are prohibited under all circumstances for roofing systems?

Open-toed sandals
Steel cap boots
Closed-toed sandals
Running shoes

The correct answer is: Closed-toed sandals

Closed-toed sandals are prohibited under all circumstances for roofing systems primarily due to safety concerns. Roofing work can involve walking on steep surfaces, handling heavy materials, and working with sharp tools, making it crucial to protect the feet from potential hazards. Open-toed footwear, including closed-toed sandals, does not provide adequate protection against falling objects, puncture injuries, or slips and falls. In contrast, proper footwear such as steel cap boots or running shoes equipped with solid soles and ankle support offer better protection for the feet. For these reasons, closed-toed sandals are deemed unsafe and are not acceptable for those working on roofing systems.
