No rules but search google for a video of a lab student accidentally setting fire to one of her nails with a Bunsen burner and shaking the burning blobs of plastic
all over the place. I've seen it several times, but don't have a link. Might help in your PR.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Question for teaching and research university labs
Good afternoon.
I have had inquiries about this from several of our teaching faculty as of late and after proposing it to the chemical hygiene committee on campus today, it was suggested
that we reach out to larger universities to see how they handle these concerns.
We have noticed an increase in the number of students with very, very long (often acrylic) fingernails. This is a concern for many reasons in a lab, but particularly
in regard to gloves.
Does anyone have a procedure or lab safety rules addressing this?
