The OHSA LabStandard does apply to the "Laboratory Employees" of
colleges, not the students. This Lab was likely covered by the CalOHSA
equivalent of the Lab Standard.

Carl Zipfel's assessment aside, all too often "What the law does not

Cal/OSHA has incorporated the Federal Lab Standard, essentially word
for word, into the California OSHA code. In the UCLA citation, the
Lab Standard was one of the regulations for which they were cited.
California also has the Injury and Illness Prevention Program,
requiring employers to provide safety information to their employees,
etc. etc. Many more workplaces are cited under IIPP than under the
Lab Standard. It=E2=80=99s frustrating that regulation isn=E2=80=99t
used to
better effect.

The fed OSHA regulations apply to private employers & federal
workplaces. Our univ. is a state university, but most of our lab
workers are paid not as state employees, but as "research foundation"
employees. RF is a private entity & OSHA applies. We also have NYS
PESH to cover the state workers & PESH has adopted the fed regs.
