Dress Code

1. Long sleeved shirt and pants offer the best protection in a laboratory. Shorts and short skirts will not adequately protect your legs.
2. Loose fitting clothing and long hair may create a potential fire hazard when burners are in use. Long hair should be secured with a tie (rubber band), pins or barrette.
3. Sandals and open-toed shoes should not be worn in the laboratory.
4. Clothing, such as ties, or long jewelry which could dangle in chemicals or flame should be removed or tied back.
5. The wearing or rings, bracelets, watches (especially those with absorbent bands) is discouraged in the laboratory. The chemicals in a lab may become trapped under the jewelry and irritate the skin or damage the jewelry itself.
6. Hair spray and hair mousse is highly flammable and should not be used in laboratory class or directly before coming to class.
7. Synthetic fingernails are highly flammable and should not be worn in laboratory class. Organic solvents will also dissolve these fingernails.
