Protective Unisex Lab Coat

Safety lab coats are worn in industry sectors that need to protect staff from spillages, stains, or chemical splashes and bacteria.

We have lab coats treated with special coating that are stain and chemical resistant, and safety lab coats that offer protection against electromagnetic interference and electrostatic discharge.

Importance of Laboratory Coat

In laboratories and other scientific settings, safety is paramount. The lab coat serves as an essential piece of personal protective equipment (PPE), acting as a barrier between the wearer and potential hazards. It shields the wearer from accidental exposure to hazardous materials, chemicals and biological agents, preserving both personal safety and the integrity of the work environment.

Beyond its protective function, the lab coat also projects an image of professionalism and competence. It distinguishes laboratory personnel from others and reinforces the importance of maintaining a controlled and hygienic workspace.

Guide to Choose the Right Lab Coat

Selecting the appropriate lab coat is crucial for ensuring optimal safety and comfort in the laboratory. Consider these key product features:

  • Tight Cuffs: Knitted or elastic cuffs create a snug fit around the wrists, preventing contaminants from entering the sleeves.
  • Snap Closures: Snap closures on the front allow for quick and easy removal in case of contamination or emergency.
  • Distinctive Features: Coats with specific properties, like flame-resistant (FR) coats, should be easily distinguishable from standard lab coats through colour or design elements.
  • Proper Fit: A well-fitting lab coat should provide ample coverage without hindering movement or creating trip hazards.
  • Appropriate Material: Choose materials that are resistant to the specific hazards encountered in your laboratory, such as chemicals, flames, or biological agents. Common materials include cotton, polyester blends, and specialised fabrics with protective coatings.

It is important to recognise that one coat may not suffice for all lab operations. Assess the potential risks in your laboratory and select lab coats with the appropriate features and materials to ensure optimal safety and protection.
