There's nothing in the PPE language from OSHA which will help you directly in your quest.

 

But the University of California may be able to help.  We have a systemwide policy that basically requires lab workers to be covered from collarbone to toes Ð which would include that bare ankle (they'll wear ballet flats, too, and expose the tops of their feet).

 

Here's the link to the policy statement:  http://policy.ucop.edu/doc/3500597/PersonalProtectiveEquip

 

Here's a link to some training resources that may be helpful to you:  http://www.ucop.edu/environment-health-safety/training/personal-protective-equipment.html

 

Hope this helps,

Debbie
