OSHA does not specifically mandate the use of lab coats; however, it requires employers to assess workplace hazards and provide appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) based on those assessments. In laboratory settings, this often includes lab coats as part of the PPE to protect against chemical, biological, or other physical hazards. Employers must ensure that employees are adequately protected and trained in using the necessary PPE.
