How about a DCHAS and CCCS initiative to get ANSI Z-87.1 to address
biological splash hazards? ... Jim

One of
the themes I heard through many presentations at the national meetings this
week was the need to develop a consistent approach to risk assessment in the
chemistry lab that informs the balance of protective strategies that are
selected in the lab. Each type of protective equipment has a balance of
advantages and challenges (often ergonomic challenges) associated with it.. For
example, fume hoods provide specific forms of protection, but come with a lot
of ergonomic costs. Similarly, some PPE is good protection for specific
situations but presents specific challenges in similar ones. Developing a
protection strategy process that accounts for both sides of this coin is a key
issue for chemical health and safety professionals to work on to help support
the prudent laboratory work.
