Ralph, I don't know about a regulation, but we do have the doors to our labs opening out into the hall so that if there is an emergency, the exit can't be blocked by a rush of people. Kay -----Original Message----- From: DCHAS-L Discussion List [mailto:dchas-l**At_Symbol_Here**med.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Ralph B Stuart Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2012 9:55 AM To: DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**med.cornell.edu Subject: [DCHAS-L] Door swing in NMR room? A question has arisen here with regard to the direction of the entrance door swing in a room containing an NMR. Some people have suggested that due to the asphyxiation potential of a quenching of the instrument, the door should swing out of the room into hallway. Does anyone know of a regulatory requirement for this or a reference that suggests that this be used as a best practice? Thanks for any help with this. - Ralph Ralph Stuart CIH Laboratory Ventilation Specialist Department of Environmental Health and Safety Cornell University rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**cornell.edu
