What types of personal protective equipment (PPE) are available?
During the academic laboratory, nitrile gloves are provided. If needed for some chemicals, additional protective gloves will be provided. Goggles are required in all academic laboratories. They can be purchased at the University Bookstore at a reasonable price. Additionally, more expensive goggles can be purchased in the Chemistry Office. Research students are provided with nitrile gloves. Lab coats can be checked out from Lorraine Wilde in the Chemistry Stockroom at no charge but must be returned upon graduation. For chemicals that require gloves other than nitrile, please contact Lorraine. Students must provide and wear their own safety glasses or goggles appropriate to the task they are conducting.
