Group,
It is my company policy to wear shorts anytime it gets over 80 degrees
outside. Here in Southern California that happens a lot. For the second
time this month I was denied access to a customers shop because my
uniform includes shorts. I have short hair, wore safety glasses and
steel toed shoes as well as no jewelry and wearing shorts made me a
safety hazard. Other than people being distracted by my muscular calves
what possible hazard could wearing shorts in a shop violate? *Note,
both companies are huge management intense companies. One is union the
other is an excellent target for one. For one I went out and bought some
pants, today I was given a one size fits all painters over smock. I was
way more unsafe in that than if I just wore shorts. The absurdity of the
situation was quite amusing to everyone who saw me. No one enforcing the
rule could explain why shorts are a safety hazard. I think it is an OSHA
rule is the only explanation I got. Does anyone else have a no shorts
rule and what is the explanation? It isn't worth losing business over so
now I just keep a spare pair of long pants in my truck just in case. The
first time I heard "we can't let you in with shorts." I thought they
were kidding. The second time got me wondering how many people have that
rule?
At least you didn't need a suit and tie.
