When should aprons be worn?

What is Apron?

Any protective piece of clothing either made from fabric or other materials (i.e. leather aprons are also common in use) which covers your front body area. Apron provides you safety either from heat or gives protection to your clothes.

Different workers wear aprons for multiple reasons. For example chefs wear aprons for hygienic reasons and also to protect from heat and clothes while cooking. Other workers wear an apron to protect their bodies from injuries i.e. ironworker or steel worker etc.

 Health professionals usually wear disposable single use plastic aprons because there are huge chances to get microbial contamination while treating patients or while working in a hospital.

When should an apron be used?

As discussed above there are different varieties of aprons and you can use aprons in multiple fields for multiple purposes.

Use of apron in health care:

Medical professionals usually use disposable aprons or gowns. Plastic aprons will be appropriate to prevent the spread of germs and it is important for standard precautions.

Disposable medical non-sterile aprons are used by health professionals to reduce the spread of infections and diseases. In some cases blood repellent aprons or gowns  are recommended where the patients require extra care with direct contact. After use, an apron or gown should be dumped immediately.

Use of apron in cookery:

Aoron is a popular kitchen item and it helps you alot while working in the kitchen. The main purpose of an apron in the kitchen is to protect you from heat and protect your clothes from getting stains and spills. Aprons act as a protective barrier while working in the kitchen.

Apron has many advantages in the kitchen also. It can be worn for hygiene purposes, you can clean your hand while working and also you don't need to wash your hand again and again after touching anything during work in the kitchen. You can say an apron is a safety tool like any other tool in the kitchen. Many restaurant owners use an apron as a part of uniform which gives them a unique and elegant look at work. 

Use of apron in laboratory:

In the laboratory we use lab coats but lab coats are not enough to protect us from chemicals. Lab coats can protect us from minor chemical splashes and stains but if we need strong coverage against chemicals then we need to use plastic or rubber aprons. Rubber aprons are best for chemical protections and from irritating liquids. 

Following are the types of aprons  we can use while working in labs:

• Cotton apron
• Synthetic apron
• Rubber material
• PVC
• Neoprene
• Vinyl
• Flame retardant

Benefits of aprons:

Most important benefit of an apron is it provides you with the safest environment for work. It allows you to move easily. Aprons protect you from dirt, contaminations, heat, hazardous materials, stains and many more. It allows you to work freely for a hygienic working environment. It is not only to protect your clothes, it protects yourself.

Some aprons come with different pockets. This enables you to keep different work related items in it i.e. you are a painter and you are using painter apron then you can hold paint brushes in your pocket.
