Bare feet are a bit clickbaity on the headline. That alone doesn’t mean much, but when it happens on a area where you should have full protective gear at the (supposed to be) sterile part of the manufacturing it’s of course a big deal. But it would be equally big deal if you just stroll there in your jeans and t-shirt with boots you stepped on a dog shit on your way to work. And even then it’s not even close of being the biggest issue on manufacturing where they constantly ignored all of the safety protocols, including ignoring test results which told them that the product is faulty.
Ideally if it’s a sterile product it’ll never be in contact with the same atmosphere the worker is in, so clothes policy is mostly for the protection of the worker.
