"I always put in my boiler plate about the different OSHA state rules and how, whether in effect or not in a particular school, the fact that the OSHA regulations are accepted national standards as well as regulations puts a teachers liability on the line if they ignore them. "

However, truth be told, OSHA regulations are not accepted nationally as regulations in many public sector places of employment. There is a difference between Must and Should. We have a responsibility to make the difference clear between Regulatory Requirements and Best Practices.

Otherwise, we are heading down the slippery path of the ends justifying the means.

I reviewed the CHP of one pharmaceutical company that included the words Must and Should in their glossary. ... Jim
