A lab coat, plus, if possible, a protective apron, should be required in most lab settings.

 

Ah, but to reflect on times past. How many remember the battle in the teaching labs forcing students to wear protective eyeware? After I threw a few out of lab the rest got the message. Fortunately, the Department Chair backed me up. That had not been the case earlier. That was the mid 1970s at the U of Minnesota.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Glove Boxes and PPE

 

Hello all,

 

I've been engaged in a good discussion about PPE requirements for working in glove boxes. Specifically, the debate is whether or not a lab coat should be worn while using a glove box. From an industry standpoint, a lab coat is a requirement; however, the general consensus in many academic labs is to not wear one.

 

I'm curious of everyone's else's thoughts on this subject.  

 

Thanks,
Steve
