Plastic lenses are OK only if you get side shields attach to your frames. Goggles can be purchased at the University book store or McGuckins. You may not wear contact lenses in the lab. Frequently, we will supply latex or neoprene gloves to handle certain chemicals, like concentrated acids or bases. We don't have any latex or neoprene socks.
Feet are especially vulnerable to spilled liquids.
The lab is filled with toxic substances, carcinogens, and other poisons that shouldn't be mixed with food. If you must eat or drink during lab, do it outside the lab.
