Short answer. Cap them. Do not store them point-down in a hot car. Do not keep five in one cargo. A ruined pocket is a ruined uniform.
Pocket discipline
One or two pens. A marker that is not leaking. The rest live in the bag, not in medical scrubs.
If a pen already exploded
Treat while damp. Do not dry-heat a stain into polyester forever.
