[MCOH-EH] OSHA form for students

[Philip Harber]

Another opinion-While OSHA 1910.134 may not apply to "non-employees", many
feel it is not a good practice to have two people working side-by-side, one
of whom benefits from protections and the other does not. Also, as noted,
the distinction between student and employee is sometimes ambiguous.

Incidentally, these issues are discussed in a new book we will be releasing
in several months on O*ccupational Health in Higher Education and Research
Institutions*. This developed from an MCOH project, and most of the authors
of this 74 chapter book are active in MCOH. It will discuss both the
clinical/technical and the programmatic issues for this industry. A high
proportion of the issues for this industry overlap considerably with those
of Medical Center occupational health.
