Hello,
I wanted to pass this along regarding the storage of a nurse/mom at her place of employment. 
 
<<According to OSHA and the US Center for Disease Control, expressed breast milk does not require special handling or storage. Therefore, when stored in a tightly closed container expressed breast milk may be stored in a common refrigerator at your baby’s daycare center or your workplace.>>
 
Note that this refrigerator should not have any drugs or medical non-edibles in it. The outside of the refridgerator should be clearly marked "Food ONLY" so that food for consumption can be the only items within it. They can not be used for a multi-purpose.

Hope this helps.
