Select your lab from the left hand menu and navigate to your labs main page.

On your labs main page, select the 'members' tab. Note: You must be the PI, lab manager, or have had access granted to edit the lab group in order to assign lab coats.

Click on 'Manage Job Activities' From the Members Tab

Select the 'Laboratory Coat Selection' Tab

Click on the appropriate coat selection for the member being given a coat. Standard white is for normal lab use. FRCP (blue) is for activities requiring elevated flammable and corrosive protections, and Barrier is for BSL 2 work ONLY.

Click 'Submit' once coats have been added.

Note: Coat assignments are updated twice a week so the coat may not be available at a kiosk for a couple of days. Please email EH&S if priority access is required. Also, while multiple coat types may be selected if a members work necessitates different types of protection, no more than 2 coats will be assigned to any single user regardless of how many coats are selected.
