In-Reply-To:

I don't see why it wouldn't apply.  The standard applies to employees engaged in "laboratory use of hazardous chemicals."  The subject matter isn't a factor.

Hello,

 

I am currently working with a histology laboratory on their safety procedures. I am looking for other opinions on whether the OSHA Laboratory Standard applies to a histology laboratory?

 

Thanks,

Craig
