It's in our Chemical Hygiene Plan, but I've had no luck in getting  
compliance with it. Our parent company has had tremendous success in  
promoting the removal of PPE, and has said that it is just a matter of  
changing the culture. I wish it were that easy. I've tried almost  
everything (even reporting people), but it truly needs management  
support...at all levels. VP's will "yes" you to death, but not stress  
the importance among middle managers. I'm currently working with our  
new executive VP to get this total buy-in, because we have employees  
who complain to me, and I tell them that I don't know what so-and-so  
was working with and if it's safe to touch the elevator button. I keep  
trying though. I'd appreciate any good responses on this as well.  
Thanks in advance.

I am in the process of doing the same thing.  Please send me any  
information you may have in the future regarding this issue.  Thanks

 >We require that lab coats and gloves be removed before leaving the  
lab. This is in place for all our labs and written in our CHP.

Ditto

All our policies explicitly state that PPE are only to be worn in the  
lab. They are not to be stored in the office areas or worn to the  
bathroom or break room.  The challenge is enforcing the rule.

We hav an airlock where they remove there labcoats (disposable tyvek)  
and gloves in an autoclavable box with a bag before they leave the  
lab. The contents of the box is  autoclaved when full.
