The appropriate PPE depends on the hazards of your experiments. Gloves, laboratory coat, and eye protection are usually the minimum PPE, but increased PPE such as a wrap-around Tyvek gown, shoe covers, and respiratory protection may be necessary for higher hazard work. Appropriate PPE should be specified in the risk minimization sections of your laboratory’s Biological Use Authorization or Biological Safety Plan.
