Hello, 

definitely fancy nails are an important risk while working with sources of flames.  Dexterity and damage to gloves are also important safety issues to consider. 

I am just finishing a short presentation about this showing the information and comments that  you sent via the  list serving.  I cannot submit it via this listserving (attachments are not allowed).

 If you want, I can share it with all of you. Just let me know how.

 I will have a meeting with laboratory technicians this Friday in UNISON.  I included a link to each comment, because I want to show that you are experts in this field. Most of the content will be showed in English. Please let me know, those who share their point of view and comments, if you are comfortable with the description of this presentation.

 The title of this presentation is Fancy Nails in the Lab.



Polypropylene hair extensions can catch a fire too, we ask students use pony tails, however, it is rigth to think that the length of the tale should be considered. I will suggest a bun in this case.

Thank you

Rossy

Doctora =C1lvarez Ch=E1vez,

How do you find gloves to accommodate 1.5 in nails? What about polypropylene
hair extensions [wicks]? I'm not a fan of fashion in the lab.

My 2-cents:

If it is not interfering with the dexterity required for the operation, I
won't have a problem with it.

Hello everyone,

We have seen that some students and teachers use quite long fancy nails
while working in the lab. This topic was the object of a discussion in
UNISON (University of Sonora). The arguments  included the respect of the
person to use that type of nails.  However, it was also commented that it is
a risk for those who use those fantasy nails and also for those who are
working around in the lab.

What is your opinion about it? Have you implemented any policy in this
regard?

Best regards,

Rossy
