Martha, that is an extreme view. Eye and face protection in pathology are
primarily for splash protection from either chemicals or body fluids. I can't
see any need for people sectioning, embedding, etc. Maybe for special stains.
Yes for pouring a lot of chemicals. And the idea that anyone visit
We require gloves for sterile sectioning as we are usually taking sections
for DNA and RNA (and a mask).Otherwise gloves etc are optional. Nothing for
embedding.

We wear gloves when handling tissue and embedding. No gloves for sectioning and
no safety goggles.

I require gloves when sectioning only because it helps eliminate
epithelial floaters, with respects to embedding the tech can choose to
or not to use gloves. No safety goggles are required.
