State law requires that every student, instructor, and visitor in a chemistry lab where experiments or demonstrations are being performed wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection. Eyewear must prevent both chemical splashes and flying particles (e.g., from broken glass) from entering the eye. The minimum eye protection device that meets these requirements is goggles with hooded or indirectly ventilated ports. A face shield may be worn over goggles to further protect the face and neck areas.

All laboratory personnel are also required to wear:

• Gloves that are chemically compatible with the hazardous materials being handled.
  • Please refer to the manufacturers data sheets regarding glove compatibilities.
• Long-pants or similar attire that fully covers the legs and ankles.
• Close-toed shoes. 

Please contact the Chemical Safety office for questions about PPE requirements.
