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...
Thanks!
