[DCHAS-L] Drinking
Fountain in the Lab

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?
