Connie,<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>I have a
very simple approach. Men are like plastic labware - disposable, whereas
woman, especially in their childbearing years are very precious. So nasty
chemicals, especially tetratogens, are a no no for the ladies but men,
who cares. Of course the boys are trained and if sloppy, sharp words and
toe bottom connection.<br>

Hi everybody!<br><br>
What measures do you guys take for pregnant techs? This particular
tech is<br>
a chemistry student (undergrad jr year) and works with all the chemicals
in<br>
one of the labs here. There are some very nasty things...
teratogens,<br>
etc. We use all the regular safety precautions... goggles, lab
coats, the<br>
appropriate glove for the chemical, fume hoods, etc. Our concern is
for<br>
her and her baby's health, but we don't know exactly how to go about
doing<br>
this, both in a political sense as well as knowing what chemicals to
keep<br>
her away from completely, etc. Thanks for your advice.<br><br>
