Didn't mean to imply OSHA should cover students, either.  Only that 
the regs (and all other considerations mentioned) that govern safety 
should be applied to students.   Not in any Federal Regulation 
enforcement sense, but in the common sense and the organization's 
laboratory policy that was the topic of initial discussion.

Looks like I need to reread my posts for comprehension - too much 
stuff and too little time this week!
