Hello all,

 

I've been engaged in a good discussion about PPE requirements for working in glove boxes. Specifically, the debate is whether or not a lab coat should be worn while using a glove box. From an industry standpoint, a lab coat is a requirement; however, the general consensus in many academic labs is to not wear one.

 

I'm curious of everyone's else's thoughts on this subject.  

 

Thanks,
Steve
