Do you wear a hard hat in work
Was working on a major construction site this week and had to wear a hard hat as part of the site rules.
All had to wear one apart from one who was a Seikh. He was exempt from wearing one as he wore a turban on his head.
Maybe next time I'm there I'll wear a crown of thorns on my head and see what they say to that.
My point is is that the wearing of hats etc is a safety measure to protect the employee and no-one should be exempt from this whether religious or not.

We have hard hats at work (used as bump hats) and for sikh visitors there are the 'shells' without the innards. For health and safety we are legally supposed to give everybody a hat before they enter.

the theory is that the hair bound up in the turban offers sufficient protection for "moderate risk" sites. if it is a high risk site, the seikh guys shoud be made to wear hard hats too. anyway - i dunno what you are complaining about, it isn't a privilege to have a brick embedded in your skull.

apart from anything else, by not wearing a hard hat you place no-one at risk other than yourself. not so in the case of any of the hypothetical examples that you pose in your "religion".
