Just out of curiosity, what clearing agent are you using in the lab?

[Histonet] Formalin Exposure






I too have an employee with sometimes severe asthma.  I told her to tell 
me
when she is having a bad day / week, to let me know and I move her from 
the
grossing area.  Yes, I do get some complaints from other employees.  But I
explained to them I would rather have the one person healthy and able to
work than have her off for several days due to her asthma.  And if she had 
a
severe attack due to formalin, I believe that would become a workman's 
comp
issue.
