<strong>Biosafety</strong> <strong>Manual</strong><br />

IBC-approved version (May 18, 2010)<br />

2.0 Starting and Conducting Work Safely<br />

This section and Table 1 provide a simplified list to assist supervisors, work leads, and principal<br />

investigators in getting work with biological materials planned, assessed, authorized, and<br />

conducted. Specific sections of this manual and PUB-3000, Chapter 26 (<strong>Biosafety</strong>) should be<br />

consulted for additional information and requirements:<br />

Table 1<br />

Guidance for Starting and Conducting Work<br />

Guidance<br />

Work Operation Planning, Risk Assessment, Authorization, and<br />

Control<br />

Complete and maintain a <strong>Biosafety</strong> Work Authorization (i.e., Biological Use<br />

Authorization (BUA), Biological Use Registration (BUR), Biological Use<br />

Notification (BUN), or Exposure Control Plan (ECP)) and any other<br />

required authorization. The <strong>Biosafety</strong> Work Authorization documents the<br />

work, risks, and controls. Implement the controls listed in the authorization.<br />

• Complete the Biological Use Application Form for research with biological<br />

materials.<br />

o Submit the application form to the Environment, Health, and Safety<br />

(EH&S) <strong>Biosafety</strong> Office (BWKing@lbl.gov and VMXian@lbl.gov) for<br />

review by the Institutional <strong>Biosafety</strong> Committee (IBC) and/or <strong>Biosafety</strong><br />

Officer.<br />

o Resolve any review comments.<br />

o Work with the <strong>Biosafety</strong> Office to get the completed <strong>Biosafety</strong> Work<br />

Authorization signed and authorized. The <strong>Biosafety</strong> Office will load<br />

the authorization into the <strong>Biosafety</strong> Authorization System (BAS).<br />

o Ensure workers are familiar with the authorization document,<br />

understand the required controls, and are trained.<br />

o Ensure the containment controls noted in the authorization document<br />

are implemented. Also implement applicable controls noted in PUB-<br />

3000, Chapter 26 (<strong>Biosafety</strong>) and the <strong>Biosafety</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>. Standard<br />

<strong>Laboratory</strong> <strong>Biosafety</strong> Level (BL) 1 and BL2 criteria are summarized<br />

in Appendix C.<br />

o Update personnel, biosafety training, and work locations as needed in<br />

the BAS.<br />

o Update and submit for review the authorization document to the<br />

<strong>Biosafety</strong> Office prior to the target renewal date. Ensure authorization<br />

document is re-authorized as needed.<br />
