[Histonet] RE: Dress codes

The hospital code for the laboratory is long pants, no open toed shoes, appropriate scrub or other tops.  The hospital does not provide the scrubs here.  We can buy what we want as long as they are not over the top.  Most hospitals have similar codes that are linked to safety and professional appearance.  Those who chose not to wear scrubs must still wear long pants, no open toed shoes and appropriate tops.  If you are working in the lab and do not have scrubs on a lab coat is necessary.  

As it was explained to me long ago, the long pants and closed shoes protect you from spills of reagents or fluids that could cause health issues or even burns in the case of acids.  The lab coats do the same and protect your clothing.

In the research lab the dress code is an follows, close toed shoes this means no crocs or dress shoes with long pants, no shorts or dresses.  Safety glasses per OSHA and nothing loose that might get caught in machinery.

Good Morning-
I am looking for input on dress codes - specifically shoe and pants guidelines and what regulatory agency your information comes from.
It seems this can be a hot button topic:( Thank you for your input- Nancy
