Your organization will have a dress code for the courier staff. Since the image you present is the organization's image, you must keep your uniform clean and well-maintained. The company logo may be on your uniform and/or on your identification badge. Your badge must be displayed above the waist to be visible to clients. When wearing an outer jacket or coat in cold weather, your badge must be visible and can be attached to the outer garment.
Shoes should be comfortable with rubber soles and cover the entire foot. They must be made of leather or leather-like materials, not allowing liquids, blood, or body fluids to soak through. Shoes must not have an open toe or back and must not be made of canvas or sandals. Couriers may spend significant time in the laboratory setting, and wearing shoes that allow blood, body fluids, or chemicals to soak in if spilled can be dangerous.
Personal hygiene is essential as well. Brushing teeth is expected, and mouthwash or breath mints are encouraged after brushing or eating. Your hands and nails must be clean. You must follow your organization’s policies on tattoos and piercings. Hair must be clean and well-groomed. This includes facial hair.
