OSHA does recommend tying hair back but does say that ponytails are acceptable. Like I said earlier, I don't see the problem with letting people (with hair longer than 4 inches) tie their hair in a ponytail most of the time and then opt for a bun for more up-close, high-risk situations.

From my perspective the other issues that you reference are not being ignored, they just aren't being discussed on CD at the moment.

If you think that it is a discussion worth having, start a thread! Don't wait for someone else to start the thread if you feel strongly about it.
