<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 />

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 />
