Chapter 1 Guidance, Regulations and Roles of Key Personnel
1.1 Introduction This Biosafety Manual (BSM) provides a review of pertinent federal guidance and regulations, state regulations, information about safe work practices, safety equipment and personal protective equipment, and specific guidance for research with...
Chapter 2 Biological Risk Assessment
2.1 Introduction Risk assessment is a process used to identify the hazardous characteristics of a known infectious or potentially infectious agent or material, the activities that can result in a person’s exposure to an agent, the likelihood that such exposur...
Chapter 3 - Principles of Biosafety
3.1 Introduction A fundamental objective of any biosafety program is the containment of potentially harmful biological agents. The term “containment” is used in describing safe methods, facilities and equipment for managing infectious materials in the laborato...
Chapter 4 - Laboratory Biosafety Level Criteria
4.1 Introduction Four biosafety levels (BSLs) are described in BMBL5; each consists of a combination of laboratory practices and techniques, safety equipment, and laboratory facilities. Each combination is specifically appropriate for the operations being perf...
Chapter 5 - Vertebrate Animal Biosafety Level Criteria for Vivarium Research Facilities
BMBL5 provides guidance for the use of experimentally infected animals housed in indoor research facilities (e.g., vivaria), and is also useful in the maintenance of laboratory animals that may naturally harbor zoonotic infectious agents. Laboratory animal fac...
Chapter 6 - Select Agents/toxins and Principles of laboratory Biosecurity
Select Agents are federally regulated agents that have potential use in biological warfare. Health and Human Services (HHS) regulates select agents targeting humans, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates select agents targeting animals, ...
Chapter 7 - Medical Surveillance
According to the BMBL, “Laboratory personnel must be provided medical surveillance, as appropriate, and offered immunization for agents handled or potential present in the laboratory.” Medical surveillance and vaccinations should be considered when infectious ...
Chapter 8 - Emergencies and Reporting
8.1 Spills 8.1.1 General In general, most spills can be effectively handled by researchers and a spill kit should be available in any laboratory area where biohazardous materials are used or stored. The following are recommended procedures for evaluating and h...
Chapter 9 - Biohazardous Waste Management
9.1 Scope While this protocol is included as a part of the Biosafety Manual, it applies to all generator of medical waste as defined by the regulation and this protocol at this university. The applicability is defined by the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH)...
Appendix A Biological Safety Cabinets
Biological Safety Cabinets and other primary containment devices are an essential component of conducting biological research. As a primary safety barrier, the effectiveness of the BSC is limited by the techniques employed by the researcher (e.g. good microbio...
Appendix B Shipping of Biohazardous Materials
Biohazardous materials are considered a hazardous material by both the US Department of Transportation and by the International Air Transport Association (IATA, which oversees air transport of hazardous materials). Like all hazardous material, special training...
Appendix C Transport of Biohazardous Material
The DOT Hazardous Material Regulations (49 CFR Parts 171-180) regulates the movement of Division 6.2 Infectious Substances when a commercial carrier is used. This is covered in Appendix B: Shipment of Infectious Substances. Transport refers to movement of Arka...
Appendix D - Use of Human, non-human Primate, and other Mammalian Cells and Tissues
Background: In 1991, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued the Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) Standard to protect employees who have occupational exposure to human blood or other potentially infectious materials. While human blood, most b...
Appendix E Guidelines for work with toxins of biological origin
Biological toxins comprise a broad range of poisons, predominantly of natural origin but increasingly accessible by modern synthetic methods, which may cause death or severe incapacitation at relatively low exposure levels. Laboratory work with most toxins, in...
Appendix F - NIH Oversight of Research Involving Recombinant DNA
The NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules (https://osp.od.nih.gov/wpcontent/uploads/NIH_Guidelines.html) contain procedures for the containment of rDNA research. The Guidelines apply to all institutions that receive NIH funding for rD...
Appendix G Recombinant DNA Experiments Involving Plants
Appendix P NIH Guidelines specifies physical and biological containment conditions and practices suitable to the greenhouse conduct of experiments involving recombinant DNA-containing plants, plantassociated microorganisms, and small animals. All provisions of...
Appendix H - Autoclaves
Autoclaves are safe and highly effective when used properly. They sterilize equipment and supplies and they kill biologicals and denature proteins. Autoclaves do not remove chemical contamination and should not be used in conjunction with chemical disinfectant...
Bloodborne Pathogens and Exposure Control Plan
Bloodborne Pathogens and Exposure Control PlanPurposeThe purpose of this plan is to ensure that exposure of employees to blood or other potentially infectious materials is controlled and that those employees are properly trained. This plan is meant to meet the...
