Goggles in Anatomy lab?

Hi everyone,

Due to COVID my school is doing remote orientation- I got to the anatomy lab video and I'm wondering something.
They went over how scrubs, closed shoes, gloves, and masks ( due to COVID) are needed. I was surprised that goggles weren't mentioned, in college I had to wear goggles for all my bio and chem labs.

I have really sensitive eyes due to Blepharitis/Dry Eye syndrome, so I went ahead and ordered a pair of lab goggles because I anticipate the fumes from the cadaver may irritate my eyes. Goggles are allowed in anatomy lab, right? There's no risk of some kind that I don't understand?

We had to wear eye protection for anatomy

Thats what I thought!
Then why the heck wasn't it mentioned? Weird.

Oh well, maybe they supply goggles but now I got my own , clean pair 🙂

You’ll be fine either way! Nobody will tell you not to at least

We didn’t unless we were using a saw or chisel.

We weren’t told to wear any protective goggles either, but some people wore masks and goggles because of the chemicals. You’ll be good to go OP!

I'm surprised! Kindly suggest to your Anatomy faculty that they require goggles or face shields.

They likely require goggles but there may just be an error in the video. Like, maybe they'll hand out goggles on the first day of lab.

It seems like wearing my Hijab will be fine, also ( handbook doesnt say anything about head covering during anatomy lab, and we are allowed to wear long sleeve shirts/sweaters under our hijabs so Im assuming it's allowed).

Just be careful, body parts very likely will end up on your clothes. Wear stuff you’re perfectly fine with throwing away when you’re done with anatomy lol

Just don’t think about all that bone dust in your lungs when you’re cutting through the skull with the saw!

This OP. Whatever few clothes you choose to wear in there will always have the Formaldehyde smell.

That's fine- I have old sneakers and this cheap hijab I bought from Amazon so I can dedicate those to anatomy lab. And a long sleeve shirt since I have so many plain cotton shirts.

We’re doing prosections this year thanks to covid, so I guess that’s the anatomy faculty’s problem now!
