One that is needed is "what defines long hair?" In my last Lab Safety Manual, we defined the hair issues as shoulder length or longer (to quote a song). We also addressed the earring issue as more than an inch and generally discouraged big danglies in the lab. Regrettably, the biologists were the least concerned/aware/cooperative and yet they would bend over dishes of cultures with flowing hair, both men and women. If management doesn't believe in it, workers won't. Lee Latimer
