#I would assume basically the same but more lax on the lab coat rules. but im unsure.

I feel like you're the person to ask about this but what's the usual dress codes for someone working a lab (making dnd npcs who are scientists lmao)

OKAY! so the thing is that it actually does depend a bit on what kind of lab it is and what you're working with! I'm mostly in wet biology/chemistry labs, and the general lab requirements are 1) safety goggles/eye protection, 2) lab coat, 3) full coverage clothing (like long pants/sleeves), 4) closed-toe shoes, 5) gloves, and 6) long hair up! More protection might be used (like hearing protection/respiratory protection or an apron or smth) but as far as I know those first things are pretty standard fare. basically keeping everything covered and making sure nothing gets in the way of what you're working on!
