Subject: safe number of students in chemistry lab

hi

I am chair of the physical science department at olive-harvey college
and my area of expertise is physics. Our administration asked us to
increase the number of students in our introductory chemistry course
from 30 to 35. We have enough equipment to handle 5 more students per
class.  Are there guidelines regarding the number of students it is safe
to have in a class? The instructor is the only non student in the class:
the lab aid cannot assist in every class because some classes meet at
the same time or overlap.  We have 6 lab tables 17ft by 2.5ft. The lab
tables are separated by 5ft.  There is 3ft of space on either side of
the tables. I would send for your book on safety but I need an answer as
soon as possible. If you have any comments, they would be greatly
appreciated.

thanks
