[Histonet] JCAHO question

[Jackie M O'Connor]

I think this is more of an OSHA violation.  If you're staining and 
coverslipping in an area where xylene is used, and you don't have a fume 
hood, that's a violation of CFR 1910.

When it comes to fume hoods ...what is the JCAHO regulation on fume hoods. 
 
We have coverslipping areas and staining areas that are not  ventilated. I 

would love to be able to tell my supervisor where this is  stated in the 
regulations. 
 Thanks in advance for any advice!
