I'm looking for guidance on lab coat selection.
We've always recommended rated FR lab coats for high-fire risk work, 100%
cotton for some fire risk work, and poly blend for low risk lab work.
I'd like to post a written guideline
for our researchers to follow. After all your help with my initial lab
coat laundry survey, I found these 2 items and was wondering if anyone
else had written guidance. I have not yet uncovered any official regulatory
or consensus documents for lab coat use.

Anything else out there?
