I would also like to know. I have gotten 5 in our building so far and am working on another one. Sometimes kept in rooms, but because our rooms are double we usually set them outside the residents door when they are in bed. Courtesy to roommates too. We have never been cited when they are in the residents room during survey, and I have yet to hear about the OSHA.
