Dan,
We required long pants in our Chemistry labs (community college).
; I've accepted long skirts, but they must be to the feet and straight
(not full). I don't know about the biology labs.

I am interested to benchmark what other
organizations do/ require regarding leg coverings in labs. Are legs
required to be covered in all labs? Or in some labs, but not others
(e.g., in chemistry labs, but biology/ biotech)? I realize that the
default answer most of us who are EHS professionals would provide is
"yes, of course leg coverings are required in labs!=", but
again I am curious to learn what others actually doing and if the issue is
directly addressed via your site CHP or other documents.
My site currently "strongly recommends=E2=80
=9D leg coverings in all labs and require them in labs using radioisotopes
in our CHP (and in general have very few folks who actually wear shorts
and/or skirts in labs, but some do on occasion), but are re-visiting this
issue as part our ongoing risk assessment process.
