Chemical Exposure Monitoring for Dermatology & Mohs Surgery Labs
Dermatology practices with an in-house Mohs lab run a histology operation inside a medical office: formalin for specimen fixation, xylene and alcohols on the processor and stainer, cryostats, and often a single small room with marginal ventilation. OSHA's formaldehyde standard (29 CFR 1910.1048) requires initial employee exposure monitoring wherever formaldehyde is used — and it applies to a two-person Mohs lab exactly as it applies to a hospital pathology department.
Medical Testing Solutions provides the monitoring program that satisfies it: passive badges for 8-hour TWA and 15-minute STEL sampling, AIHA-accredited laboratory analysis, and a written report you can put in front of an OSHA compliance officer or your malpractice carrier.
