        So if you have a job requirement to wear respiratory equipment at short notice, and the protection factor of that equipment is dependent on being clean shaven, you would have to be a real idiot not to be clean shaven.

        How dare they have a policy designed to protect people in their job! What's next? Having to wear respiratory equipment spoils my work selfies?

        It’s the same on construction sites, if you have a beard or not clean shaven it can stop your RPE from working, it’s all for health and safety and actually one of the more sensible rules, and if these are the rules they should be obeyed, you don’t have to have a beard so do it.

        I’m assuming that’s supposed to be sarcastic, I suppose you think we should all have the right to do whatever we want, I would choose a clean shave and my health over having a ridiculous looking beard and dying any day, common sense, so yes welcome to Britain.

        When respiratory protective equipment doesn’t protect you good enough whilst wearing a beard it shouldn’t even be an issue to be clean shaven.

        I'm sure he (or possibly she!) knew about the policy before they joined up, so they should be told to get lost. It's for their own safety, how stupid would you have to be to challenge this?
