Hi all!  Our IBCLC has asked me to post the following:

Is breastmilk considered a biohazard for JACHO (forgive if I got the acronym
wrong, Hospital Joint Accredidation Survey)?  Does a refridgerator designated
for breastmilk storage require a biohazard sticker?  What are the
standards/guidelines?  What are the standard precautions?  What references?

(The QA -Quality Assurance- LTC -Lieutenant Colonel- at our military hospital
is giving us grief & discounting an article quoting from a 1997 CDC -Center
for Disease Control- report.  Sorry, don't have the name of the article
available.)

You may post either privately or to the list.  I will be checking the archives
this evening after my toddlers are in bed.
