PPE for in-patient phlebotomy

Hi. Do any Trusts allow in-patient phlebotomy to take bloods without aprons on? I'm working with a team whose SOP states they must wear aprons for all in-patient and they are struggling to get it changed.  They feel the potential for contamination is highly unlikely (not occurred in several years). It would be great if we could share other Trusts SOP's (or just general practice) with the IPC team.
