This is an area where researchers know what should be done, but often allow
the opposite to occur - due perhaps to general experiences from earlier
years void of compliance intervention.  I recall recently when the NRC
(Nuclear Regulatory Commission) happened to have made one of their surprise
appearances on campus - and the word was spreading  rapidly through the
system.   Some lab groups were concerned about making sure their  <foreign
speaking> researchers in shorts and sandals did not meet up with the NRC
officials because of the obvious breach of "safety clothing".   The reality,
however, is that if there are any findings, the whole institutional
environment must make remedy and pay the consequences - which potentially
affects even the majority of researchers who have been doing things
correctly all along.          ,,,,,,,,,,,gary

This one gave me a laugh.  At Baylor College of Medicine, in the lab areas,
if you're not breaking the law or the 'no shoes, no shirt, no service'
convention,  you're ok.   I realize in a hospital, it's not a laughing
matter, but we're quite relaxed.

Discussion of the day is Dress Code.

If you have any type of dress code for research staff located at your
institution, would you please fax or email me a copy.  I am trying
to do a balancing act between health and safety concerns and
corporate standards.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
