Problem!

 

A college has a student with documented disabilities who will need to bring oxygen with her to class (and Lab!).

 

I got this from a colleague, and my first concern would be in a lab with open flames.

Have any academics had to work with this and how did you handle it?

Are there any specific OSHA regulations that they need to address?
