[Histonet] RE: Formalin in the OR

[Terri Braud]

Wow, this is such a safety issue with an accident waiting to happen.  I
totally agree with Peggy that Formalin should not be allowed in an OR
room.  Even a gallon spill would be cause to evacuate and can you
imagine the consequences of that?
We have a small room off of the OR suites stocked with a 5 gallon carboy
over a 5 gal spill container

I think this is mostly a safety issue, and suggest NOT allowing any
amount of formalin in OR/surgery rooms.
