CDC guidelines say that breast milk is NOT a hazardous material. No stickers. And I work for a large hospital company with many franchises.

A quick question for anyone working hospitals.
Does your hospital place 'hazardous' stickers on the fridges that breast milk is kept in? I was trying to find out if this is needed and the infection control personal said that it was OSHA regulations. I searched OSHA policies but had a hard time finding this exact information. I did email them but the responce seemed to be computer generated which didn't really help.
