Proper Work Attire
Proper work attire is pivotal for those working within an EMT work environment. Due to the physically labor-intensive nature of this field, one must dress in safe, durable, and practical clothing. Understanding the importance of this dress code, while adhering to all safety protocols, is critical to your success while engaged in our modern learning lab.

• Students should wear clothing that allows free movement for ease and efficiency.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
• Long hair must be securely pulled back, avoiding accidental entanglement.
• Clothes will get dirty. Wear clothing that can easily be washed time and time again.
• Comfortable and slip-resistant boots or shoes are required. This footwear will protect your feet from serious injury from rolling or falling objects, or from an object piercing the sole or top of the foot.
