Personal protective equipment (PPE) is needed to protect against physical, chemical, and biological laboratory hazards. Availability of this equipment is important but adequate training on how to use it is equally important. The following is a partial list of PPE, but others may be needed:

 Safety glasses: These should be cleaned and sanitized before and after use. Alcohol wipes may be adequate for the sanitization.

 Laboratory gowns or coats: These should be used and kept in the laboratory.

 Face masks and face shields: Masks and shields protect against splashes and aerosolized droplets and particles. These are also essential to prevent the spread of infectious airborne agents.

 Gloves: Use of disposable gloves is essential for most laboratory activities.
