It's real simple, make the rules exactly how they want them. "A well groomed beard or goatee or mustache, with no hair to exceed 1/2" in length, or be of extreme or abnormal styles, etc"
But people are lazy and don't want to deal with it.

Write up a Beard resolution and post it here. I'm sure it could get it through multiple Councils.
But it's not so much a safety issue as it is an appearance issue. The courts have given companies wide latitude in establishing their dress codes, so the company holds all the cards. They have to be convinced that changing the dress code would be beneficial to them. Tough sell but can't hurt to try.
