Dr. Murphy,
Our policy for all labs is footwear must cover the entire foot and be
slip resistant.  Footwear should also be made of impermeable material
(e.g. leather) to reduce the likelihood of chemical exposure.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Shoes in Lab

Hello,

 

I would appreciate learning your requirements for shoes in lab.   Tennis
shoes, etc., while they cover the foot, offer little protection against
spills.  Thank you for any information you might wish to share.

 

Best,

 

Ruth Ann
