Scientists wear closed toed shoes during labs to protect their feet from objects and substances that might be dropped, spilled, splashed, etc. Where the objects might be particularly heavy they may even choose to use "steel-toed" shoes to protect their toes from crushing.

What are the guidlines to be observing in the laboratory area?

In chemistry labs, you should wear goggles, lab apron, closed toe shoes, no sandals of any kind. Wear long hair tied back. Don't wear jewelry that could get caught on a piece of equipment. Wear short sleeves or roll up long sleeves. You should also stand during the lab so nothing dangerous can fall in your lap. Know where the fire blanket, fire extinguisher, and eye wash stations are and how to use them. Do not eat or drink anything during lab, do not chew gum.
