I realize that the prevailing view is that dinosaurs roamed the earth when I attended university, but I distinctly remember my primary laboratory instructor comparing
our labs to the labs at Dow, Dupont, Merck, and Bayer.
Certainly not in scope, scale, or funding, but in form and function.
Our dress code was the same as that for these industrial chem/pharma labs.
"You need to be prepared for what you will face if you work in industry. It is my job to prepare you for that. If you don't like it, I suggest you major in biology."
It seems to me that rather than a dress code for academic laboratories you should be looking for the dress code in industrial labs (handling similar chemicals,
of course) and mimicking that.
Just a thoughtÉ

I suggest students get a pair of sweat pants, scrubs or cotton pajama pants.

Safety Colleagues,
Do you permit your students to wear leggings/jeggings in your academic chemistry labs?
If not, have you included a section on this in your safety rules?
Would you be willing to share the wording in your safety rules with me?
I chair the departmental safety committee and I plan to include this topic as an agenda item for the February meeting.
As always, thank you for your assistance.
Barbara
