ATTIRE (PPE)
To promote professionalism and prevent disease transmission specific attire is worn whenever in the Veterinary Technology complex. This consists of scrub top, name tag and slacks, surgical scrubs, capris, or jeans (no holes) and closed toed safe footwear. No hats in the classroom. Hair must be maintained to avoid safety hazards. Appropriate lab jackets are worn over the scrub top in labs. No pajamas, jogging pants, sweatpants, leggings, tights, lounge wear etc. Having your name embroidered on jackets and scrubs is a good idea but not required.
