This is a typical mistake make by government employees. They fail to supplement the regulations with common sense.

Example: On the Ottawa National Forest in Michigan, a life guard stubbed her toe. Regulations said that injured employees must receive a letter of reprimand and an explanation of how they can avoid that injury in the future.

So the Forest Supervisor sent her a letter of reprimand, stating that in the future she needs to wear steel toed boots. 

She's a lifeguard!! That would be like wearing anchors.
