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.

Next thing you're going to be telling me it's not OK to embed with a 1
foot tall bunsen burner open flame and a Coke on the cold tray!

I wouldn't want everyone else's coffees on my desk either, but I'd

safe for all of us....
Have a great weekend everyone!

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,
