                      15:4-Observing Standard Precautions

   Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

   Can a health care worker drink coffee in a laboratory where blood/body
   fluids/tissue tests are performed? Why or Why not?

   No, federal law prohibits eating and drinking in any area that can be
   potentially contaminated by blood or other body fluids.

     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,
