We are not allowed to store anything under our sinks, the Compliance department has told us that it is an OSHA requirement.

Cleaning supplies may be stored under the sink, but since "things" have a way of migrating there as well, we just have a blanket rule, nothing under the sink.  Of course, this would never occur in the Histology Department, LOL. The space is actually locked off.

Subject: [Histonet] Bleach Regs
Hello Histonetters!
Has anyone heard of a regulation by CAP, CLIA or OSHA regarding commercial bleach stored under the laboratory sink.  My lab routinely has a gallon container of dated/ bio-labeled commercial bleach stored under the sink for cleaning purposes. Daily use to clean special stain coplin jars,etc..  I had a suspicious med tech tell my pathologist that is was against regulations to have it in the lab anytime !
HUH????
Responses welcomed.
Have an awesome Thursday!
