I was talking to someone about this a few minutes ago. Is it a big deal for nurses or food service workers to wear their lab coats and/or aprons in the street and then into their place of employment? This would be before work, and during breaks, lunches, ect. thanks

p.s. What if the person wears the apron or coat from their home, to the car, and straight to work?

Also, why do restaurants and hospitals only provide one or two aprons and lab coats if they are concerned with hygiene. Seems like they would provide at least five for people who work full-time.

I was a USDA QA Tech for a long time in a poultry production cook plant. And according to government guidelines it is not permissable to wear any thing that is a supposed santitary covering out of the production area. period. You may not do this. You also must wash your hands upon the entering into any area that production is taking place as well as wear hairnets and gloves that will not allow any surface of exposed skin contact with the product. This causes potential contamination of the product and if it found to be in noncompliance all product must be thrown away. I mean all of it that was on the line at the time of the documented incident and then all the surfaces must be washed down and sanitized before they can be used again. Poultry Quality Assurance Techs ar ethe people who keep you from getting sick from contaminated food stuffs in the market. Don't think that because they work at the "Chicken Plant" that they are not on top of the game. If they were not., People would be getting ill constantly.

I work in a Dr.'s office and we are not permitted to wear our lab coats out of the office, this is not office rules but OSHA rules. We wear them anyway. We also take them home to be washed because our office does not provide a cleaning service for our uniforms like alot of hospitals do. It would only be a big deal to me if I had some kind of body fluid on my coat.

I feel the same way!! it is very unsanitary to do that... i don't want them making my food or taking care of me after they have been all over with that same apron/lab coat on....

I dressed up as the world famous gynecologist Dr. Seymour Bush for Halloween 2 years ago. It was a rousing success. I would suggest doing the same every day. :)

No really not. But there's bacteria everywhere and on everything. There's no escaping it.
