goggles, a lab coat, chemical gloves, and close-toed shoes

Reason: acids can splash — use splash goggles for eye protection, a lab coat to protect skin/clothing, chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile or neoprene) for hand protection, and closed-toed shoes to protect feet. Heat-proof gloves do not protect against chemical corrosion.
