Funny. No, you don't grab the tires. But the tires will, on some wheel chairs, contact arms or sleeves. And the soles of shoes rarely do.

Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] need "lab coat" for students in wheelchairsAbout wheelchair wheels:Do you decontaminate student shoes before leaving lab? That seems analogous to me..About lab coats:The last few students we had who used chairs wore the same long-sleeve, knee-length coat as others. We supplied a chemical-resistant apron that provided additional protection needed when working from a seated position. I like Fisher=E2=80™s PVC Apron of the Elements.SMK

Subject: [DCHAS-L] need "lab coat" for students in wheelchairsTo All:This year our university instituted a lab coat policy requiring undergraduate students to wear lab coats in chemistry labs. We have a handful of students in wheelchairs taking our courses. Can you recommend a source of lab coats for students using wheelchairs? Also, how do you handle decontaminating the wheelchair wheels prior to students leaving the lab?--- For more information about the DCHAS-L e-mail list, contact the Divisional secretary at secretary**At_Symbol_Here**dchas.org Follow us on Twitter **At_Symbol_Here**acsdchas--- For more information about the DCHAS-L e-mail list, contact the Divisional secretary at secretary**At_Symbol_Here**dchas.org Follow us on Twitter **At_Symbol_Here**acsdchas--- For more information about the DCHAS-L e-mail list, contact the Divisional secretary at secretary**At_Symbol_Here**dchas.org Follow us on Twitter **At_Symbol_Here**acsdchas
