[Histonet] RE: No food or drink in the lab
For one discipline. It is a OSHA, Joint Commission and CAP standards. I do know it is a phase II for CAP. It is also a hospital policy at my place. -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Amber McKenzie Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2014 8:26 AM Cc: Histonet Subject: [Histonet] No food or drink in the lab Does anyone know of a specific site and quote that states No food or drink in the lab and what the consequences would be? That covers drinks/snacks in the cabinets above their workstations too, right? I have a sign up on the door entering the lab that states no food or drink, but the staff continue to keep stuff around their desk, so I need something to back me up from CLIA, OSHA, CAP, etc...

Pretty sure that is an OSHA regulation.

[Histonet] RE: No food or drink in the lab
I have not worked in or visited as technical representative since the middle 70' that allowed in any food or drink in the lab anywhere. If you have food or snacks they go in your locker and out of the lab or don't bring them in. In most labs this an automatic write up and can lead to progressive disciplinary action. Your safety officer or department head should be all over this and if you don't have one check CLIA, CAP and any other letter organization to find it. This is a health and safety issue that is taken seriously everywhere. If I find someone with food or drink in this lab they are disciplined before one of our safety officers from OHS finds out. The fact that it is hidden or in cabinet does not cut it - No food or drink in the lab period.

[Histonet] RE: No food or drink in the lab
What is staff doing at their desks? Are the desks located in a work area where specimens or chemicals are? If not, and the desk area can be clearly separated from the work area, then maybe you could have a sign posted in each area. No food or drink permitted in this area or Food and drink permitted in this area. This way it clearly states where the food will be allowed. If their desks are in an area where specimens are handled, then disciplinary action should follow. -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Osborne, Dale Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2014 9:55 AM To: Wineman, Terra; Amber McKenzie Cc: Histonet Subject: [Histonet] RE: No food or drink in the lab Hello, I've attached the policy that Washington University has regarding food and drink in the lab.
