If you look at the archives, we have discussed this at length, and I have  
copied the entire letter from OSHA therein.  The original request to OSHA  came 
from ILCA in 1991.  We have a letter (JCAHO also has it) which is in  my files 
at home (I'm on the road teaching) stating that breastmilk is NOT a  
biohazard according to OSHA, and does not need to be treated as such (i.e. no  gloves 
needed, no special refrigerator with biohazard signs all over it,  etc).
 
But if you want that, please check the archives -- we probably went round  
and round with this about 2 or 3 years ago -- I'm thinking most likely 2005 or  
2006.
