I need your help, please.  I’m at an institution where graduate (and sometimes undergraduate) students teach our undergraduate Chemistry labs.  Those of us who are lab coordinators often come into the labs to find the student instructors not wearing the appropriate PPE.  How do you enforce this at other institutions?  I’m trying to make a case to our department that there needs  to be consequences for student instructors who don’t tow the line.  Right now the methods are a stern talking to, bouncing them from one lab to another, and “putting a note in their file”.

 

Thanks in advance.
