OK I have to jump in too. We require impermeable coats with tight cuffs and
high collars, gloves and goggles for everything but cutting. Most lab coats
have at least a little polyester in them and you are asking for static
trouble if you wear one while cutting. Plus they are too hot. The coats
gloves and goggles are more for chemical protection than biohazard, cause by
the time the tissue is processed we consider it not infectious. Also, we
require a particle mask when weighing dry chemicals. Add boots, hat and face
shield for the gross cutting room. Our institution doesn't allow jeans, and
even if it did, they are too tight and uncomfortable to allow efficient and
easy movement, sitting, etc around the lab.
