[Histonet] Coffee at the desk

[Thomas Podawiltz]

 OSHA: bloodborne pathogen standard.A clean area is an area that is closed off from the working environment with walls and door. Tape is not a appropriate alternative, maybe on WKRP in Cincinnati, but not in a lab.

 Is there any regulation/ reason why a Histology supervisor whose desk is in the department and the desk area is taped off and designated as a "clean area (  meaning no chemicals or specimens cross the taped off area) can't have a closed coffee cup at their desk??  We are having a debate in our Lab and I wanted to get a consensus.

Thanks in Advance,

Valerie
