Another OSHA Lab Standard requirement is
that an area or areas be designated for work with "'select carcinogens,'
reproductive toxins or substances which have a high degree of acute toxicity."
The
list is somewhat absurdly long and never stops growing. Last update April 1999.
Word
version of it.
This is the sticker Purdue uses to designate such areas. If you possess any
of the materials in the list, designate an area.
Designate hoods, cabinets, benches, refrigerators.... You may
designate an entire room by posting the entry doors, but if you do there may be absolutely
no eating or drinking in the room. Ever. |
