I just recently returned from Copan, where park staff are working, almost
daily, with cinnabar-coated artifacts. The staff work in rooms with no
ventilation and the only safety precautions they are taking are latex
gloves and dust masks. Does anyone have or know of museum safety
guidelines/recommendations for working with cinnabar? The OSHA guidelines
are a bit overwhelming. I'm also looking for information on monitoring
equipment - kind, cost, etc. I will pass any information on to the staff at
Copan. Please reply off-list. Thanks.
