Below are basic practices for laboratory photography/videography:

• Individuals being photographed must wear standard laboratory attire, which includes closed‐toe, solid-top shoes, clothing that covers the legs, such as long pants or equivalent and shirts that show no visible skin below the neck, with the exception of the lower portion of the arms. Clothing through which skin can be seen does not provide proper protection and therefore should not be depicted in laboratory settings. Unacceptable attire includes, but is not limited to, open-toe shoes, sandals, flip-flops, shorts, tank tops, muscle shirts, bare midriffs/backs, mesh clothing, and similar attire that may result in skin exposure to hazards.
• Individuals being photographed must wear personal protective equipment (PPE) necessary to safely conduct the actives being depicted. Standard PPE use in laboratories includes gloves and lab coat; lab coats should be fully buttoned, and the sleeves should extend to the gloves.  Eye protection must be used when depicting activates with a potential for splash.  Safety glasses would be appropriate in most labs; goggles would be expected in heavy chemical use areas. Standard prescription eyeglasses are not an appropriate substitute for safety glasses/goggles. 
• If a photo includes liquid nitrogen/cryogen use, individuals should be wearing thermal protective gloves in addition to the other required PPE.
• Long hair should be tied back, especially where hair could be caught in machinery.
• Photographs should not depict unsafe practices such as handling cell phones, blocked eyewashes/safety showers, blocked exits, presence of food and drink in the lab, unlabeled chemicals, etc.
