Ye Gods! Doesn't anybody have a copy of "Safety in the Academic chemistry 
Laboratory", Volumes 1 and 2, any more?

That free for the asking publication of the ACS states clearly and 
emphatically that under no circumstances should any shoe be worn in the lab 
that permits easy access of a liquid or solid to the skin of the 
shoe-wearer.

Sheesh!

Hello,


I would appreciate learning your requirements for shoes in lab.   Tennis
shoes, etc., while they cover the foot, offer little protection against
spills.  Thank you for any information you might wish to share.


Best,


Ruth Ann
