A foot operated apparatus for providing a switch closure to an external electrical circuit. The apparatus includes a housing having a switch mounted therein carrying a plunger actuated electrical contact moveable between two positions. A foot operated member is pivotally mounted on the housing about a pivot axis. The foot operated member has a first end spaced from the housing at a normal first position and disposed below the upper disposed pivot axis. The first end of the foot operated member is pivotal about the pivot axis spaced above the first end of the foot operated member toward the housing to a second position coincident with closure of the switch contact. An optional foot guard encloses the sides and top of the foot operated member. The foot guard allows the toe portion of a user's foot to slide therethrough in forward movement to pivot the first end of the foot engaging member to the second position coincident with closure of the switch contact.
