Hi everyone!
So we are a low-risk dry seasoning/spice manufacturer. Part of our dress code is long pants. A sanitation employee came wearing pants that are about 5 inches below the knees. And everyone is giving her a hard time. As the FS Manager I like to enforce rules but rules that can be justified. HR Manager if fighting me telling me those pants are unacceptable. However my view is that they are not a risk to food safety. Yes they run around production/GMP areas but are not food handlers. He thinks these are not acceptable and his justification is that some women don't shave so the leg hair may be exposed... hmmm. Personally never saw that. I worked at a company before that was a higher risk and they were allowed to wear shorts (knee legnth only). From a FS perspective, what are everyones thoughts?
