[Histonet] Biohazard Bags

[GUTIERREZ, JUAN]

Hello netters.  A while back there was a posting about a regulation prohibiting lab personnel from reaching into a red bag to retrieve a specimen for grossing.  Can someone send me a copy or reference for the regulation?  We have checked with several hospitals in our area, including two military hospitals, and most people have not heard of such.       
Thanks for your help.
