Is there an OSHA guideline that requires employees who where tennis shoes to work to tie them?

This seems to be an issue at my work place. The some of the younger employees where their shoes untied. It makes an annoying dragging sound when they walk and it can't be the safest practice.

1. May not be an OSHA regulation but management should step in. Because someone will trip over their own shoe laces and then claim injury so the company will be held responsible. Bring it up to management, besides it's unprofessional looking.
2. This is the kind of thing that makes regulators create all those seemingly strange regulations. I think this would be covered under a general regulation about safe clothing.....
3. It would be from the hazard analysis you do under the trip and fall sections. In that analysis you make a policy to keep shoes tied.
