While pockets are incredibly useful, they also come with challenges: - Overloading: Carrying too many items can make pockets bulky and uncomfortable. - Cross-Contamination: Keeping items like pens and notepads in pockets can pose a risk of cross-contamination if not properly sanitized. - Wear and Tear: Frequent use of pockets can lead to wear and tear on the uniform, necessitating regular replacements. - Security: Keeping valuable items like mobile phones in pockets can be risky if the pockets are not secure.
