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?
