My company employs a zoned sanitary environment to protect our product from
contamination during different (and more susceptible) stages of production.
This includes shoe changes, clothing changes, the works. If someone is to
make a brief excursion into another zone or into a highly susceptible area
they would put these over-shoes on (over their shoes) called NEOS Boots.
A very large sized NEOS Boot might just fit over the cast comfortably.

If that doesn't work, perhaps a plastic bag and a makeshift dome to put the
foot under. It would severely limit mobility, but for stationary work it
might do. Most importantly I would make sure the student is offered fair
alternatives so they don't attempt to take any risks (ie. cut the cast off
early) just to maintain academic standing.
