Mbak Adhien,   Sepertinya itu tergantung pada spesifikasi areal kerja masing-masing, apakah pabrik, daerah terbuka, lab, kantor yang bersih ber-AC, dll).  Maksudnya, cobalah di assess resiko bahayanya seperti apa, bila kita makan atau menyimpan makanan di tempat tersebut.  Kalau menurut OSHA, di bawah Depnakernya Amerika sih nggak ada larangan khusus mengenai hal ini.   Does OSHA Prohibit Eating and Drinking in the Workplace? Question: Does OSHA prohibit eating or drinking any food or beverage in the workplace?  Many people have reported that their employer or manager has told them that OSHA rules prohibit having any food or anything to drink where they work.  Answer: The best answer to the question of food and beverages (eating and drinking in the workplace) has to do with the hazards and potential for hazard that this would bring. All OSHA standards require that employers evaluate workplace hazards and determine whether what is required to ensure safety and health of employees. For example, 29CFR 1910.142 requires that no employee be allowed to have food or beverages in an area where they could be contaminated with toxic or infectious materials. Obviously, it would not be appropriate to eat and drink in proximity to chemicals, such as at pesticide factory in the production area, but employees in an average bank, could (under OSHA) safely drink a coke at their desk. 29 CFR 1910.142 could also be interpreted to mean that lunches, snacks or drinks may not be stored in a cabinet or refrigerator with chemicals. So if you work in a lab, you definitely would not be allowed to store your lunch, Coke or other soda pops in a refrigerator with radioactive materials, biological agents (such as virus samples, bacteria, etc.) or chemicals. Summary OSHA does not have a rule that flatly prohibits workers eating or drinking in the workplace.  Each workplace is different and the employer has the responsibility to evaluate the particular hazards and make a reasonable determination.
