  Subject: [DCHAS-L] Lab Coat Management? Who, what, how?


We are reviewing how lab coats are managed on our campus. We'd appreciate feedback on how your university/college handles lab coats (non-clinical) for research labs:

1. How are lab coats purchased?
        Each individual student/staff/faculty buys their own?
        Lab PIs buy them for their labs?
        Departments buy them?
        Other?________________

2. How are they laundered?
        Is it up to the individual to launder their own lab coat?
        The lab uses only disposable lab coats?
        The lab has a washer/dryer for individuals within their own group to use?
        The departments have a washer/dryer for individuals to use?
        There is a lab coat laundry service on campus?  (who runs it?)
        There is a lab coat exchange program with an outside vendor on campus?  (who is vendor and who manages the program?)
        Other? __________________________________

3. How is EH&S involved in the lab coat program?
        Runs the lab coat purchase &/or laundry program?
        Only recommend lab coat types when asked?
        Includes lab coat use as an inspection item during lab inspections?
        Other? _________________________________________


I'm sure that there's lots of different things happening across NYS! If any of you are running or have a full lab coat laundry/exchange program on your campus, please let me know so I can ask lots more questions.

You can email me directly (kim.auletta**At_Symbol_Here**stonybrook.edu) and I'll compile results & post back to the list.

Thanks!
