Our shop specifies safety goggles, closed toe/heel shoes, and hair ties when you enter the shop. Same for tucking in anything loose... We also specify no jewelry on hands/wrists. The entire shop is needs to be a safe place, whether you are actively working on a machine or not. Same with us at competition, the only time we can let our hair loose is in the stands.
We have numerous mentors on duty with various missing body parts (lucky enough to just have missing body parts) who can illustrate to problems in a shop even when you are careful.

I used to work in power plants. I sometimes wore a tie. Great way to be garroted. I always tucked it in when touring the plant.
(I also tuck it on when I eat lunch. The shirt goes in the washer, the tie needs to be dry-cleaned.)
