DCHAS-L Archives, May 5, 2015 - Re: [DCHAS-L] Lab Coats In Teaching Labs and Research Labs at Academic Institutions

At our 2-year college, lab coats/ aprons are not required in chemistry, although microbiology requires lab coats. I require all of my chem students (freshmen chem) to wear lab coats even though the department does not. You always have the right to maintain stricter safety standards, even though you may be mocked and ridiculed (as I have been) by your colleagues for doing so. The students wash their own lab coats, but I do tell them to wash them separately, and do an extra rinse cycle at the end.
