I asked a similar question (about both industrial & academic labs) and received a number of useful answers last summer. Let me know if you want any of that information. We are just now in the process of implementing a new rule that all person working in the lab (students, instructors, TAs, & staff) wear closed, long (knee-length) lab coats in addition to eye protection and closed shoes.
