If, as is stated, the obligation to protect life overrides the compulsion to wear a beard then does it not follow as the duty of each individual to protect their own life by being clean shaven to wear RPE when required?

Covid-19 may be a unique situation but given the frustrations of many on this forum with face-fit declined on religious grounds the message being relayed is that religious leaders have no such objection.

Intersted to know if Prof Makin has had a bout of selective hearing or that the wider religious community do endorse the statement being made

The cynic in me would ask why there god would infect them anyway..

I was under the impression that H&S law trumps the discrimination act, turbans on building sites excepted, when necessary. Wasn't this the point of that vegan topic that looks like it has mysteriously vanished?

Curious - without moderators we seem to be being moderated.

Tried four different search words that should have located the post and nothing.

Manually paged back through time and got to October last year - still nothing.
