Labcoats and Aprons

Wear protective clothing that resists physical and chemical hazards when exposure may occur. Lab coats are appropriate for minor chemical splashes and solids contamination, while plastic or rubber aprons are best for protection from corrosive or irritating liquids. Disposable outer garments may be useful when cleaning and decontamination of reusable clothing is difficult.
