I work in a small bar, but apparently it's against higiene law for an employee to work with a nose piercing..?
Is this true?
Answers:
There is no way that it is illegal.
If that's the case, why aren't we stopped wearing them in my work - in hospital?
If they claim that it might fall out of your nose whilst serving people, the same could be said about boogies!! Sorry to be vulgar but it's true.
I would guess that your boss just doesn't like it. If you were of an ethnic background, they would have no choice but to accept it.
Good luck.
Not sure about drinks - but any jewelery should be removed or covered if you are working with food.
It's not illegal, it just depends on company policy
Thats the 1st i`ve heard of it
check company policies
No it's not true.UNLESS the state you live in has one of those old funky laws from years and years ago that still in effect but no one really enforces.
Convince your boss to get a PA and he'll forget all about your nose piercing.
This is health and safety hygiene and if the piercing can be dangerous for any reason it can be considered as unsuitable.
If it were illegal, people with pierced earrings would also be banned.
It could be in some states although I can't see why a nose ring would have anything to do with serving drinks. The customers drink doesn't go anywhere near your face. It may be a company policy. If that is the case and you still want to work there, just remove it while working.
it depends
C'mon, he made this up, right?
Local ordinances can vary, particularly pertaining to food or bev handling. But I doubt if local codes specifically forbid nose studs.
Nose studs are a big turnoff to me. I don't like to think how people get the backs on and off.
Your boss may feel they are a turn off to his/her customers. He does have a right to expect you to dress appropriately for your job. He may be in his rights to ban jewelry that might be offensive to customers or that might imply unsanitary habits.
Take it out while you're at work. Why rock the boat over this?
no its not illegal unless you work with food then you just have to cover it . some asian women wear them as part of their faith no one makes them take that out
where food preparation is involved then yeah - but if there's no food he's probably just being annoying. if you've just had it done and can't take it out, you should be allowed to cover it with a plaster, although that would look a bit silly.
if its local policy then you should follow it. It may fall out and go in a drink or snack.
Not sure it is "law" as such but if it is local policy then just do it.
Like a previous person said, you can take it out whilst at work.
If it is newly pierced then you should have asked ur boss about this first.
