This is a more interesting question than I thought. I had thought another piece of the definition of a laboratory included changing chemical processes and an educated workforce. Evidently, I moved the idea that the lab workforce has special chemical safety expertise from the definition of the CHO to that of the lab as a whole in my mind.

Anyway, I can imagine writing the CHP for the lab in a way that includes the lab staff's chemical safety expertise into this boundary you are exploring.
