Subject: [DCHAS-L] Lab Coat Management? Who, what, how?
We are reviewing how lab coats are managed
on our campus. We'd appreciate feedback on how your university/college
handles lab coats (non-clinical) for research labs:
1. How are lab coats purchased?
Each
individual student/staff/faculty buys their own?
Lab
PIs buy them for their labs?
Departments
buy them?
Other?________________
2. How are they laundered?
Is
it up to the individual to launder their own lab coat?
The
lab uses only disposable lab coats?
The
lab has a washer/dryer for individuals within their own group to use?
The
departments have a washer/dryer for individuals to use?
There
is a lab coat laundry service on campus? (who runs it?)
There
is a lab coat exchange program with an outside vendor on campus? (who
is vendor and who manages the program?)
Other?

3. How is EH&S involved in the lab
coat program?
Runs
the lab coat purchase &/or laundry program?
Only
recommend lab coat types when asked?
Includes
lab coat use as an inspection item during lab inspections?
Other?
_________________________________________
I'm sure that there's lots of different
things happening across NYS! If any of you are running or have a full lab
coat laundry/exchange program on your campus, please let me know so I can
ask lots more questions.
You can email me directly (kim.auletta**At_Symbol_Here**stonybrook.edu)
and I'll compile results & post back to the list.
Thanks!
