It’s not just stude nts but all levels of people moving from academia into private business. No t that there are great safety programs in academia and poor ones in business but in my experience the accountability in academia just isn&# 8217;t there for the most part.

I think that (some/many) students do not take safety seriously or perhaps d o not see it as a personal responsibility.

It is also very helpful to us o ut in the "world" if students are trained to observe safety pract ices that will be required when they get to us. A whole new set of rules ki ck in when they go from being "students" to being "employees".
To borrow a term from my Army d ays - "train the same way that you will fight".

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 benchmark what other organizations do/ require reg arding leg coverings in labs. Are legs required to be covered in all labs? Or in some labs, but not others (e.g., in chemistry labs, but b iology/ biotech)? I realize that the default answer most of us who are EHS professionals would provide is “yes, of cours e leg coverings are required in labs!”, but again I am curious to lea rn what others actually doing and if the issue is directly addressed via yo ur site CHP or other documents.
My site currently “strongly recommends” leg coverings in all la bs and require them in labs using radioisotopes in our CHP (and in general have very few folks who actually wear shorts and/or skirts in labs, but som e do on occasion), but are re-visiting this issue as part our ongoing risk assessment process.
