Demystify: 

 

We are in the process of building a new Lab and it is almost ready for occupation.

 

The Lab designer has put two drinking fountains in the Lab. I believe this is not allowed per OSHA’s Laboratory Standards, however, the discussion is that “there is minimum chance of chemical contamination” with these drinking fountains. I have requested the removal of these, but it would be costly at this point. I have two questions:

 

Are the drinking fountains allowed in the Lab area?

 

Is it OK to shut down the water source at this point and leave the fountains there?

 

I appreciate the expert opinions on this subject.
