Would something like this work? The student would place them on the beginning of class and remove them at the end and store them for next time.

It's only analogous if the soles of your shoes run from the floor to up to your elbows and back.

Do you decontaminate student shoes before leaving lab? That seems analogous to me.
The last few students we had who used chairs wore the same long-sleeve, knee-length coat as others. We supplied a chemical-resistant apron that provided additional protection needed when working from a seated position. I like Fisher=E2=80™s PVC Apron of the Elements.

This year our university instituted a lab coat policy requiring undergraduate students to wear lab coats in chemistry labs. We have a handful of students in wheelchairs taking our courses. Can you recommend a source of lab coats for students using wheelchairs? Also, how do you handle decontaminating the wheelchair wheels prior to students leaving the lab?
