> I go on to discuss what the OSHA definition of a hazardous chemical is under the definitions section of 1910.1450. In my mind, this is so clearly defined that we need no other
definitions, designations, etc.
I agree with this, but my experience is that many lab workers have picked up the dry lab / wet lab terminology in random discussions and are confused when it doesn't mean much
to me. I can think of many exceptions to pretty much any application of those terms…
Thanks to everyone for their input.
