Summer Clothing and Lab Safety

by

in

The weather is warming up, and while shorts and sandals are great if you are spending time outside, it is important to be properly dressed when working in a laboratory to reduce injuries if an accident occurs.

Along with proper attire, remember to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) according to your laboratory’s PPE Assessment Form.

Follow the required safety practices identified in the Chemical Hygiene Plan to protect yourself from hazardous materials, falling objects and other lab hazards.

Tip: On hot summer days, bring long pants and close-toed shoes to change into after arriving to the laboratory.
