Thank all of you histonetters for your input about what you do with your OR
requisitions. This all recently became an issue again because a secretary
complained that techs walk through the office with blue labs coat on. The
secretary went to the Safety rep who reprimanded the techs. When I brought
up the requisition issue, I was told that "contamination" was visible blood
or body fluid ... which I think is ridiculous and gives a false sense of
security to office staff who believe their area is "clean". Often, these
people eat at their desks... I would think there would be some sort of
liability if one developed hepatitis, etc. I know with all the budget
crunching we won't be able to go to 2 ply requisitions and I hate to
contaminate a copier, but it seems the only answer.
Again, thanks
