[Histonet] Slides and Food/Drink

[Rebecca Barnhart]

Our cytotech and pathologist both eat and drink while they are screening
slides.  Nothing has been said to this point.  Our pathologist's office
is not in the main lab, but the cytotech's office is the first office in
the main lab (but she has a door that closes and no other specimens
every go in either office, just coverslipped slides). Please keep us
informed of any information that you gather from this.

Hello,
The hospital safety officer came through today and said that there
should be
no eating or drinking while the cytologists screen slides. This is just
a
screening room. Does anyone know the reference or instruction that
states
this? Thanks
