Workwear

It can act as an element of protection, especially if some general recommendations are followed, such as:

  • The lab coat should not be washed at home.
  • The clothing that serves as personal protection must never leave the place of use (it cannot be worn in the library, in the cafeteria, on the street, etc.).
  • Street clothes that increase the exposed body surface (shorts, sandals) must not be worn.

As part of the protective clothing, gowns (with elastic cuffs) and aprons are included. Sometimes, shoe protectors also come in handy.
