Subject: Lab Coat Management? Who, what, how?
X-To: dchas-l**At_Symbol_Here**med.cornell.edu
We are reviewing how lab coats are managed
on our campus. We'd appreciate feedback on how your university/college
handles lab coats (non-clinical) for research labs:
1. How are lab coats purchased?
Each
individual student/staff/faculty buys their own?
Lab
PIs buy them for their labs?
Departments
buy them?
Other?________________
2. How are they laundered?
Is
it up to the individual to launder their own lab coat?
The
lab uses only disposable lab coats?
The
lab has a washer/dryer for individuals within their own group to use?
The
departments have a washer/dryer for individuals to use?
There
is a lab coat laundry service on campus? (who runs it?)
There
is a lab coat exchange program with an outside vendor on campus? (who
is vendor and who manages the program?)
Other?

3. How is EH&S involved in the lab
coat program?
Runs
the lab coat purchase &/or laundry program?
Only
recommend lab coat types when asked?
Includes
lab coat use as an inspection item during lab inspections?
Other?

I'm sure that there's lots of different
things happening across NYS! If any of you are running or have a full lab
coat laundry/exchange program on your campus, please let me know so I can
ask lots more questions.
You can email me directly (kim.auletta**At_Symbol_Here**stonybrook.edu)
and I'll compile results & post back to the list.
Thanks!
