Joining Lab PPE Day

Well, security in the lab is a primary step for success in your job and career. Who wants to employ an ambulant danger, even if he is a genius? Wearing PPE (Personal protective equipment) and being always aware of risks, is important in every instant of your work-time. Please, never underestimate hazard and because you aren't invulnerable yet, so use (and abuse) of PPE is warmly recommended!

For me it is different, never happen an accident in over twenty year of lab, and I always enjoy to be eyesight and safe. Lab glasses, nitrile or anti-heat gloves, lab coat (better not using a white one if you work with inks and colors) and mask are always close to me, this let me focus to more interesting stuff.

On June 4, 2012, there is Lab PPE Day, a day to celebrate laboratory personal protective equipment, and help new chemists (and scientists!) understand the importance of wearing your PPE!

Check out all the people participating in Lab PPE Day at the official Lab PPE Day Tumblr! Lots of great pictures of chemists that want to participate there, too!

If you'd like to participate and show young chemists that it's normal and common to wear lab PPE, you can Tweet a picture to @LabPPEDay or e-mail a picture to LabPPEDay -at- gmail/dot/com!

And this is me, working with colors!
