Lab coats are required when working with hazardous or
unsealed materials. Complying with guidelines is necessary and here are the
reasons why and how to care for your lab coats.
Lab coats are designed to keep your skin and personal
clothing protected from incidental contact and splashes. It also helps to
minimize the contamination of others you come in contact with if you remove
your coat before exiting your workplace. The ease of removing the coat gives
you the ability to not be stuck in clothing that has been contaminated by a
substance. However, it is good to keep in mind that lab coats have limitations
and are not designed to withstand fire or chemical corrosives. So use your lab
coat as a barrier for small splashes.
When looking for a lab coat, there are a few options for where to buy lab coats. These would
include rental vendors, disposable lab coat vendors or reusable lab coat
vendors. Rental companies have a program
that repairs tear from normal wear and tear. However, the downside would be
pretty hefty costs, as well as replacement fees when your coat naturally wears
after repeated use. Disposable lab coats are not very environmentally friendly
and continue to decline in popularity due to their cheap fabrics and low
quality. Finally, reusable lab coats provide excellent quality and can be
ordered for easy of accessibility.
