'I just think you should treat people with dignity and respect.' The supermarket FreshDublin is under fire after banning ‘construction workwear’ from in its in-store eating area.

On the other hand, construction safety consultant Sean said he had no issue with the rule whatsoever.

“Your average construction worker is dealing with glues, silicones, silica dust and hazardous materials which are on to their clothes and being transferred onto seating in the restaurants and the seats,” he said. “It’s not an awful lot of effort. Most of the decent sites at the moment have cubby holes where guys can leave their workwear when they go out on breakfast and lunch and most guys take advantage of that.”He went on to note that workers don’t go home and sit on their own furniture in full workwear.

“We need to be showing that same respect when we go into shops – whether that be using the toilet and cleaning up after ourselves or the clothing we wear in.
