Hi all,

Our students rehang lab coats on a rolling clothes rack. It can be moved to be out of the way during lab, and also kept out of the hallway. The rack is provided by our lab coat vendor. Coats are laundered by vendor biweekly.

Best,

Goo morning,


For those campuses that require lab coats in their chemistry laboratories, how are you handling storage? We have wall to wall fume hoods in our upper division organic labs and no place to put lab coats. The Chemistry department has recently instituted a lab coat policy in upper division labs where the hazards warrant them. We have a brand new beautiful building they are housed in, however no lab coat storage. Upper administration does not want anything put in the hallways. So far, they have come up with extra large ziploc bags in which to put their lab coats into and store in their glassware drawers.


Any other ideas out there?
