[Histonet] Coffee at the desk

[McLaughlin, Stacy L.]

It is not allowed.  The area you want food/drink has to be completely separate- floor to ceiling walls and a door.

        External Email - Use Caution        

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
