Re: [Histonet] Emergency showers in Lab

From:Ada Feldman

Jill,

In the Formaldehyde Standard 29 CFR 1910.1048 (i) (2) it states "If  
employees may become splashed with solutions containing 1% or greater  
formaldehyde, for example, because of equipment failure or improper  
work practices, the employer shall provide conveniently located quick  
drench showers and assure that affected employees use these facilities.
