Dave,
Looks like they powers that be want to stop the wearing of high heels. This has happen at a number of companies recently. If you think about it, it does make sense really. They do increase the risk of trips and/or stumbles and most are smooth soled so increase the risk of a slip.
Just about everything else can be classified as sensible.

Surely foot wear in an office environment should be left to the individual. Okay 6 inch high heels are not ideal for everyday working, nor are they particularly useful for driving a vehicle. Where do you draw the line? Guidance should be not much more than 'suitable footwear' for the workplace - job done, otherwise you are likely to open a 'can of worms'.

Dave, So long as the office personnel do not need to enter any area more hazardous than the office then I suggest that safety attention may be better directed at maintenance of floor surfaces, housekeeping, avoidance of coffee spillages on tiled floors, lighting and visibility. If Charles wants to wear his 6" heels to work, why not, so long as he is not endangering anyone else by falling on them!
Is H&S being used as a tool for achieving an unstated or hidden management objective?
