Hairy workers sent home

Contractors working on an asbestos removal project were forbidden from continuing work as they were not clean-shaven, according to reports.

The workers were required to wear protective gear, including mouth masks. However, managers said a satisfactory respiratory seal could not be achieved unless the worker is clean shaven.

Do you think this is just another negative story to hit the headlines, or do the managers have a point? Share your views in the discussion forum.
