What is the purpose of this protective equipment?

The pictures #1 shown are lab coats, which are protective equipment. Its purpose includes body protection from the neck down. It also protects us from chemicals, microorganism, and other hazards that we can come in contact with in a microbiology laboratory. I work in the lab and the major parts of our personal protective equipment are lab coats, nitrile gloves, and safety goggles. I put on lab coats, nitrile gloves, and safety goggles before I open an acid or base chemical container. That is my first line of defense when I am protecting myself from chemical that I come in contact with. Depending on the type of chemicals I use, my personal protective equipment increases with goggles, sleeves, face mask, and nitrile gloves.
