Jasdeep ji,

I am in oil & gas industry. There are multiple challenges. H2S is one of them. Rigs in US that have H2S concerns do not allow anyone with facial hair to enter. Similar challenges are there in oil refineries. They have strict no facial hair policy and there are no exemptions. I don't know of any other Sabat Surat Sikhs working in oil & gas in US but I have a friend working in Oil sands in Canada and he told me that they used to allow facial hair but recently his company changed policy and Sikhs who refused to shave were transferred to office jobs. Also, I know couple of cases for guys coming from India for short term projects and they were sent back as the locations they required to work wouldn't allow anyone with beard. One of them was supposed to work on offshore platform in Gulf of Mexico and other guy came for a project in a Chemical plant.

At one time I talked to Director of Sikh coalition at that time, Mr. Amardeep Singh and discussed with him this challenge as they were fighting legal battle for some sikhs to enter US Army and they were facing similar challenges as Army insisted on shaving to achieve the gas seal. Those guys were able to achieve gas seal with their beards by using regular masks. He was not sure how but he told me that some former Army and Navy Sikh officers from India helped them. 

I explained to him the challenge I was facing in oil & gas industry and he explained that in US, only way to bring change is by bringing lawsuit against the companies. I was not prepared for the full fledged war with my employer when they were so accommodating and asked other colleagues to go to locations that require shaving. So I just let it go for time being. I am sure that the mask you proposed will NOT be accepted in these locations and they will insist on shaving but at least I can argue the case if required.

I am not sure if in Canada they have similar concept of bringing lawsuits to bring change or it can be done any other way.

Thanks

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
