Formalin

Anyone ever been told "unable, not allowed to be in a room with formalin present"? Co-worker RN refused to place specimen in a container of formalin that had a cover due to "toxic fumes that may escape & cause a reaction" Requested specimen be taken to a department with air hood to open container & put specimen in? (I was thinking, how did they attend anatomy lab & dissection for four hours 3x a week where formalin was everywhere?) Just wondering?

    One can have an allergic reaction to formalin.  Few nursing programs use anatomical models instead to prevent allergy exposure similar to not using latex gloves in sim labs.
