The UK oil and gas industry safety intiative Step Change have a jewellery policy for offshore facilties - a copy can be found on:

http://step.steel-sci.or...main_publications_fs.htm

and look under "policies and guidance" - it's at the top. Note that this is considered a best practice guide - it is only mandatory if the operator adopts it, but if they do then everyone visiting or working on the installation needs to comply.

I would caution against implementing any such policies without clear safety or health justifications - if there is no substantiated case behind it then prepare for concerted resistance. From my own understanding, risks are that the jewellery can contribute directly to an injury (catching in moving parts and damaging the body as a direct consequence) and can indirectly exacerbate another injury (constricting a damaged area like a finger swelling due to another cause such as allergic) thereby making medical treatment difficult and adding to existing harm as a result. Activities involving food will also have consideration of loss of jewellery into the product and all that entails!

Edward,

If Sean's suggestion does not suffice, I have a copy of a jewellery policy which you would have to alter to suit.

E-mail me direct if you require it.

John.
