Waiting for a bad hair day

A committee that has been examining whether any occupations should be removed from an official list that classifies them as hazardous and unhealthy, recommended to the Employment Ministry that 61 types of work should be removed. Among the occupations the committee said should not be included are hairdressers, waiters and people who work in the pharmaceutical or wine industries. Jobs which are classified as hazardous and unhealthy usually have generous social security benefits.
