I’d very interested in your list for the “new set of rules [that] kick in” when our students move into industry.

It is also very helpful to us out in the "world" if students are tra ined to observe safety practices that will be required when they get to us. A whole new set of rules kick in when they go from being "stud ents" to being "employees".
To borrow a term from my Army days - "train the same way that you will figh t".

It’s an ongoing process in academia. We strongly recommend too.
Here’s a poster we developed to help educate.< /p>

Berkeley Lab:
Safety glasses with side shields, long pants and closed toe shoes are requi red upon entry to a lab space
Lab coat and chemically resistant gloves are additionally required when han dling chemicals.
This PPE is supplemented with goggles, aprons etc., depending on the materi al and degree of hazard

I am interested to benchm ark what other organizations do/ require regarding leg coverings in l abs. Are legs required to be covered in all labs? Or in some la bs, but not others (e.g., in chemistry labs, but biology/ biotech)? I realize that the default answer most of us who are EHS p rofessionals would provide is “yes, of course leg coverings are requi red in labs!”, but again I am curious to learn what others actually d oing and if the issue is directly addressed via your site CHP or other documents.
My site currently “ strongly recommends” leg coverings in all labs and require them in la bs using radioisotopes in our CHP (and in general have very few folks who a ctually wear shorts and/or skirts in labs, but some do on occasion), but are re-visiting this issue as part our ongoing risk a ssessment process.
