EU Directive – Gone Mad!!!!High heels to be cut down to size under new EU proposals forcing hairdressers to wear non-slip flat shoes – Mail Online  Health and safety: Hairdressers would be banned from wearing high heels. Posed by modelHairdressers will be banned from wearing high heels and jewellery under nanny state proposals being drawn up in Brussels.A health and safety directive orders stylists to wear ‘non-slip soles’ when they are cutting hair and bans wedding rings and watches as unhygienic.The plans will see hairdressers told not to let staff do too many haircuts in one day to prevent ‘emotional collapses’.•And the bizarre rules will tell salon workers to have a regular ‘social dialogue’ – code for gossipy chats – to encourage ‘mental wellbeing’ in the workplace.The National Hairdressers’ Federation warns the plans will cost the UK industry £3million a year in wasted time and red tape.The agreement is due to be signed this month between EU Coiffure, a group of European salon bosses, and UNI Europa Hair & Beauty, a union for European hairdressers.Both groups are ‘social partners’ of the European Commission and will submit the deal to Brussels to become an EU-wide directive binding on all 27 states.

Employment minister Chris Grayling vowed: ‘We should be creating jobs, not killing them. This kind of stupidity has to stop. It makes no sense and I will do everything I can to stop it.’
