same as that of men’s leather shoes, so that men and women are treated equally. Female cabin crew can work in those shoes during in-flight service or change into flat shoes. c) Stockings Numerous companies consider stockings safe even during evacuation. In case of emergency evacuation, passengers are generally asked to remove their high heels, not stockings. Studies on the risks and safety concerns of stockings are focused on the comfort level of passengers traveling on airplanes. c. Statements by government agencies25 a) Ministry of Labor According to the Ministry of Labor, occupational safety and health laws only provide provisions on clothing in situations in which there is potential for imminent danger, such as overly long sleeves, scarves, or hair that could get caught in machinery. There are no provisions on clothing for other sectors and tasks. The case in question can be processed in accordance with Article 5 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which makes a declarative statement that employers must adopt preventive measures of all types to prevent occupational accidents. There are no penalties; however, workers may still file a lawsuit based on this article. The Occupational Safety and Health Act requires employers to practice occupational safety and health management and formulate management plans, including emergency response measures. If cabin crew have concerns about evacuation or uniform safety, they can present a proposal to the Occupational Safety and Health Committee and then engage in extensive discussion with their employers. The committee includes labor representatives. 25 The Commission’s meeting minutes with the advisory body on May 30, 2024. 38
