Good catch, but I suggest we teach: 

All female worker with long hair MUST tie up their hair on top. away from
flames & moving (rotating?) equipment.

Gender has nothing to do with long hair.  It may be better stated that all
workers with long hair.

Michael,

I entirely agree with your post re long hair in the lab. Just a minor
correction of language is needed. "In lieu of" means "instead of" or "in
place of".  I am sure you meant to say "in light of". This is a very common
mistake.

Just remember, it is not just "females" that have long hair.

I would extend that to all lab workers with long hair, not just females. J

All workers with long hair must tie up hair.  We have males with long hair
here too.
