Chapter 12: Incident w88 live casino
Internal w88 live casino of Incidents Involving Biological Agents
The below spill scenarios must be reported to the Biosafety Officer or other appropriate EH&S staff member if the Biosafety Officer is not immediately available. The Biosafety Officer can be contacted at 775-327-5196 (office) and the EH&S 24-hour number is 775-327-5040. Incidents or w88 live casino concerns can also be reported online from the EH&S home page, then click on the “Report an Incident, Near-miss, or w88 live casino Concern” link.)
Report the following w88 live casino as soon as possible:
- All spills or personnel exposure incidents involving BSL-3 agents or select agents and toxins (w88 live casino of minor spills contained in a biological safety cabinet can wait until business hours if no personnel exposure is suspected)
- All personnel exposure w88 live casino involving BSL-2 agents or biological toxins
- The following spills or personnel exposure w88 live casino involving recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid:
- Overt exposures of w88 live casino to BSL-2 recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid
- Overt or potential exposures of w88 live casino to BSL-3 recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid
- High risk spills of any BSL-2 agent or biological toxin, even when released within a biological w88 live casino cabinet or other containment (high risk due to large volume or high potential for aerosolization)
- Any spill or release of a biological agent outside of a w88 live casino room or release to the outside environment by any route (e.g., ventilation system, sewer, or spill during transport)
Report the following w88 live casino the next business day:
- Spills or other w88 live casino that involve exposure of personnel to BSL-1 agents which are not expected to result in adverse health effects.
- Spills of BSL-2 w88 live casino not included above (e. g., low risk spills)
- w88 live casino or situations that had potential to expose personnel or result in release outside of containment (“near misses”)
Notification of the Institutional w88 live casino Committee
The w88 live casino Officer will notify the Institutional w88 live casino Committee (IBC) Chair of reported incidents no later than the next business day. The w88 live casino Officer will investigate reported incidents and provide a written critique of the incident to the IBC Chair, the responsible Principal Investigator, and university administrators as appropriate. The IBC Chair will decide if the incident will be reviewed by the IBC.
External w88 live casino of Incidents Involving Biological Agents
In some cases, incidents involving biological agents must be reported to external agencies within specified time limits. Guidance on external w88 live casino of biological agent incidents is provided below. Contact the University of Nevada, Reno Biosafety Officer for more specific guidance on incidents not specifically addressed.
Incidents Requiring w88 live casino to an External Agency
Select w88 live casino
The University Select Agent Responsible Official (RO) and/or one of the designated Alternate Responsible Officials (AROs) is responsible for w88 live casino incidents involving select agents to the CDC or APHIS in accordance with the current select agent regulations (see Chapter 14for more information). The RO or ARO is also responsible for submitting w88 live casino forms required by the select agent regulations.
Recombinant w88 live casino Acid
The IBC Chair is responsible for w88 live casino incidents involving recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid to the NIH Office of Biotechnology Activities (OBA) as specified in the latest edition of the NIH Guidelines for Research w88 live casino Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules. Alternatively, the IBC Chair can ask the BSO to make any required notifications w88 live casino NIH OBA.
Biohazardous w88 live casino
Incidents involving spills or releases of biohazardous waste that result in personnel exposure, a health and safety hazard to the public or agricultural or domestic animals, or discharge to the environment, must be reported to the Northern Nevada Public Health Department Environmental Health Services as soon as possible. Significant changes to the storage, transport, or treatment of biohazardous waste requires revision of the University Biohazardous Waste Operations Plan and must be approved by the Northern Nevada Public Health Department. The Biosafety Officer or alternate EH&S staff member is responsible for w88 live casino incidents. The Biosafety Officer is responsible for revising the Biohazardous Waste Operations Plan.
Release of Biological w88 live casino
Release of infectious agents outside of the laboratory, whether to the larger building or to the environment must be reported to Northern Nevada Public Environmental Health Services as soon as possible. Infectious agents that are classified as select agents or recombinant or synthetic nucleic have additional w88 live casino requirements as specified above. The Biosafety Officer or alternate EH&S staff member is responsible for w88 live casino such incidents to the Northern Nevada Public Health District, and the Biosafety Officer is responsible for w88 live casino incidents involving select agents and recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid as described above.
Exposure to w88 live casino
Personnel exposure incidents involving a causative agent of a communicable disease must be reported to Northern Nevada Public Health District Environmental Health Services as soon as possible. Reportable incidents are those that involve specific contact of an infectious agent with eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes; parenteral contact; contact with non-intact skin; exposure to aerosols; and diagnosed illnesses known or suspected of being laboratory acquired. Biological agents that are classified as select agents or recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid have additional w88 live casino requirements as specified above. The Biosafety Officer or alternate EH&S staff member is responsible for w88 live casino such incidents to the Northern Nevada Public Health Department, and the Biosafety Officer is responsible for w88 live casino incidents involving select agents and recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid as described above.
Fatalities or Hospitalizations
Any occupational incident that results in the fatality of an employee within 8 hours. Additionally, work-related in-patient hospitalization of one or more employees, amputation, or loss of an eye, must be reported to the Nevada State OSHA within 24 hours. The w88 live casino Officer or alternate EH&S staff member is responsible for making this report.
