Demystify: 

Funny.  No, you don't grab the tires.  But the tires will, on some wheel chairs, contact arms or sleeves.  And the soles of shoes rarely do..

I guess I assumed student had a handrail in addition to the tire on each side, so s/he doesn't place hands on the tires.

It's only analogous if the soles of your shoes run from the floor to up to your elbows and back.

About wheelchair wheels:
Do you decontaminate student shoes before leaving lab? That seems analogous to me.
 
About lab coats:
The last few students we had who used chairs wore the same long-sleeve, knee-length coat as others. We supplied a chemical-resistant apron that provided additional protection needed when working from a seated position. I like Fisher=E2=80™s PVC Apron of the Elements.

To All:
 
This year our university instituted a lab coat policy requiring undergraduate students to wear lab coats in chemistry labs.  We have a handful of students in wheelchairs taking our courses.  Can you recommend a source of lab coats for students using wheelchairs?  Also, how do you handle decontaminating the wheelchair wheels prior to students leaving the lab?
