I guess the problem is with spills. IMHO, it would be better to have a drinking
fountain in the workshop, a couple of metres from any workbench.

If you wish to be rigid, how do you stop the operators from yawning, coughing or
sneezing, all of which can spray body liquors in an aerosol over several metres, even
if they manage to put a hand in front of the face or even with a paper/cotton mask?
