Can anyone give me references for starting a histology lab for animal tissues?
 I need to know what the OSHA requirements would be  especially in regards to  fire cabinets & ventilation systems.  How many square feet does the lab have to be? I also need to know the minimum amount of equipment and materials needed along with current prices to set up a paraffin Processing lab that will be handling an estimated 100-500 slides per week with mostly H& E staining. 
If this information has been covered before, I need to know how to get to the archives.
Thank you.
