[Histonet] Morgue regulating agency

[Deltour, Douglas D.(HM2)]

I believe that it is OSHA. We always go through our Industrial Hygiene dept.
for neg pressure monitoring. Here is a website that might help.

Does anyone on the histonet have responsibilities for morgues? If so do you
know the regulating agency that requires negative air pressure for morgues
and / or the classification of morgues as to which types of autopsies
(levels of infection) can be performed in each.
Thanks in advance,
Mary
