ATP_Power posted:I'm just guessing that if it's like most unis, the whole thing is underfunded and things like that probably aren't a priority on the budget even though they should be. Funnily enough, some of the stories I've heard from my friend who's worked at biotech startups make me think it can be much worse there. At least universities have departments devoted to OSHA stuff even if they aren't perfect - see the UCLA chemistry lab fatality (https://cen.acs.org/articles/87/i31/Learning-UCLA.html). I feel like a lot of the chemical and biohazard stuff at my university is more geared to protect the university from liability rather than to create a safe work environment, like when my coworker was forced to clean up a spill of an unknown reagent that someone else made and EHS wouldn't touch the stuff (in an electrical engineering fabrication lab). I'm split between engineering (fab) and microbiology and do most of the ordering and receiving for my lab. Everything goes to a mailroom and initial receiving is always done by an office worker; I just have to assume none of the reagents I've ordered are damaged and leaking since they would have no idea what to do in the case of an exposure. lol

ncumbered_by_idgits posted:No way. They only seem to do inspections while there is nobody there, don't do a good job explaining safety violations post-inspection, and wouldn't help a graduate student with either labor or guidance about how to clean up a spill of an unknown reagent someone else created. Our EHS is bad at providing help or clarification on what to do when asked.

LifeSunDeath posted:I've worked around hundreds of patients with Cdiff...the smell is very *unique* and it's fungal so it's not something you can clean off of surfaces easily except with bleach...so you have to wear protective gowns but there's poo poo usually all over the place so it's hard not to get it on you...anyway, it sucks for patients more cause it mostly happens when people are compromised from long term antibiotic usage. It's literally a "superbug" that exists in all of our guts but only becomes a problem when it does. C. diff isn't fungal but it does form endospores which are resistant to pretty much everything except (like you said) a 10% bleach solution for 10 minutes. Ingestion of spores are how it's actually transmitted which then germinate in your colon in response to bile acids (live C diff can't survive your stomach pH). There is plenty of asymptomatic colonization (up to ~15% of the population) but it's not necessarily part of your normal gut microbiome. And I assume it's covering every surface in any hospital. I've never been around a C. diff patient but I've cultured it hundreds of times and it certainly has a distinct (horrible) odor.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Nursing education is a lot of “how” and not so much the “why”. If you want the mechanics of it all a doctor is going to be waaaay better informed. Sure, however it sure seems to depend on the level of specialization and if they also do research. I'm not an medical doctor (just a PhD student) but have written a bunch of papers on C. diff. Nurses and Drs have their own set of complex information to learn when it comes to practicing medicine which I will never know.

Helen Highwater posted:How about this for OSHA? Two active railway lines, with no barriers crossing a roundabout in Florida. That's like a quadfecta or something. If the trains are coming from the left only, it's not so bad, since you should be looking that way in a roundabout anyway. If they are coming from both directions, yikes.
