The P2 Waste Management Facility provides users with specific blue microfiber gowns for BSL2 work. These are available in different sizes and are splash-proof. They are part of a common stock at the SV School and are not individually identifiable.
Lab coat ordering
Lab coat orders must now be placed exclusively via the PPMS website. Orders can be made:
- from a computer or a smartphone,
- or directly in the glassware washing facilities, through the available computer (in this case a strong authentification will be required, users are therefore requested to bring their smartphones).
In order to proceed with the order:
- Connect to the PPMS website:
- Click on the “Orders” menu;
- Make sure the order is placed for the Financial account of your unit;
- Select the lab coat type and the required quantity;
- Confirm the order;
- Lab coats can be collected in the clean area of your facility, after the order has been validated in PPMS.
A detailed step-by-step procedure is available here.

Please contact our SV-IT helpdesk by email at [email protected] and mention “PPMS – Ordering lab coats” in the subject of your message.
Collection of soiled lab coats
BSL2 soiled lab coats should be packed in a dedicated red biohazard bag in the BSL2 facility (no other waste should be included in the bags with the labcoats). Bags have to be sealed and labelled and then placed on the BSL2 waste collection areas. They are picked up by the Facility personnel on Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings during BSL2 waste collection.
Labcoats are decontaminated in the Waste Management Facility and then passed on to a company that is part of a cantonal network, which will wash and redistribute them.
