Ours says:
ATTENDANCE AT THE FIRST LAB MEETING IS MANDATORY
Check the individual class schedules for first-day information. Students who miss the first 30 minutes of the first lab meeting of the quarter will be administratively dropped
from the course. Come prepared to work: wear long pants and closed shoes. Bring textbook, lab notebook, knee-length lab coat, and goggles.

While reviewing the scheduling for summer session, I ran across the following language in the class schedule grid, used by students to sign up for lab sections
(this is just applicable to chemistry lab sections Ð what other departments to, I donÕt know):
ÒStudents must be prepared to participate on the first day of lab meeting with the mandatory dress requirements including: approved laboratory coat, safety goggles,
closed-toe, closed-heel shoes, and clothing that completely covers arms and legs. Personal protective equipment may be pruchased at the UCD main bookstore.Ó

Please donÕt drag us back into the contact lens debate! Contact lenses are safe to wear in lab, making sure proper safety eyewear is also worn. If you need
references (going back a decade or more), check the archives.

Hi all-
I want to thank you again for your help and response on the LAB PPE response to Yoga or Synthetic Pants and exposed ankles. We would like to make a major overhaul to the safety language in our department. I am reaching out to the group
again for some additional help. If anybody is willing to share some proper language or examples of proper PPE rules for undergraduate college labs. I would really appreciate as we make some major changes to reflect these small details. Also does anybody know
the exact language about contacts under safety glasses? Is is allowable or not? Thanks for all your help and guidance.
