Cathy - the standard is 2.5 linear feet per student for working at a chemical hood. Otherwise I'm not aware of any limits. Your statement that you have space for 24 implies perhaps that's the number of stations at lab benches, but that's just an assumption. If so, you could certainly use that argument with your administrators.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] High School Lab Class Enrollment Limits
My colleague and I are the Chemical Hygiene Officers in our school. We currently only allow 24 students in any lab based science class. We are being asked to justify this enrollment limit. Our current lab space accommodates 24 students.
Does anyone have any resource guidelines that state we cannot go beyond this capacity?
