w88 sports betting Close Out Policy
w88 sports betting
Closeout or transfer of responsibility of laboratories that possess biological, w88 sports betting, or radiological materials must be conducted in a manner that ensures that all such materials are identified and labeled and, at the proper time, transferred to another responsible party or properly disposed of.
w88 sports betting Authority
Vice President for Research; Environmental Health and w88 sports betting Department
Scope
This policy applies to all laboratories, stockrooms, and storerooms maintained by the University of Nevada, Reno that possess biological, w88 sports betting, or radiological materials.
Background
It is preferred that all w88 sports betting assets be reassigned to faculty who will use the materials, products and devices for ongoing useful purposes. Chemical, biological, and radiological materials, however, are frequently left behind when w88 sports betting researchers end their association with the university, or otherwise closeout or transfer responsibility of a w88 sports betting. These orphaned materials are often improperly labeled and inappropriately packaged. In some instances these materials are completely unlabeled, effectively qualifying them as unknown hazardous materials. These materials represent increased health and safety risks to personnel, as well as financial risks due to characterization and disposal costs, and regulatory fines. Additional costs may include hazardous material response, facility repair, and equipment replacement resulting from fire or spills of these orphaned materials.

Definitions
w88 sports betting
The physical space for which a PI is responsible and uses for the purpose of conducting w88 sports betting work. For purposes of w88 sports betting closeout or transfer of responsibility, instrumentation, hazardous materials, and equipment for which the PI is responsible or that may be contained in w88 sports betting space for which the PI is responsible or shares responsibility, are subject to this policy no matter where the space is located. Responsibility can be gained through formal assignment; informal acceptance of responsibility through primary use, maintenance, or repair; or acquisition by purchase or other means.
Closeout and/w88 sports betting Responsibility for Laboratories
The discontinuance of all w88 sports betting operations for which a specific PI is responsible, accompanied by written acknowledgement by the PI. Such acknowledgement indicates that the PI, and any personnel working under his or her supervision, will vacate the w88 sports betting space as specified by the PI. The PI need not end their association with the University, or physically leave the University, for a w88 sports betting closeout or transfer of responsibility of the w88 sports betting to occur.
Responsibilities
Deans, w88 sports betting Chairs, and Directors
Ensure that all faculty and principal investigators are aware of the responsibilities and procedures contained in this w88 sports betting.
Provide administrative enforcement of this policy with regard to the closeout w88 sports betting responsibility of laboratories under their administrative responsibility.
Ensure that any PI who is closing out or transferring responsibility of their w88 sports betting is informed of this policy and is provided with the “w88 sports betting Closeout/Transfer Notification Form” (Appendix I) and the “w88 sports betting Closeout/Transfer Checklist” (Appendix II). Please contact EH&S for w88 sports betting documents.
Ensure that a copy of the completed and signed w88 sports betting Closeout/Transfer Checklist is provided to the new occupant of w88 sports betting space prior to their occupancy.
w88 sports betting Departments and Other Administrative Units
The PI’s home academic department or other administrative unit is responsible for costs arising from noncompliance with this policy when the PI has physically left the University or does not have sufficient operating funds to cover such costs. Examples of these costs include analysis of unknown or incompletely characterized hazardous w88 sports betting; disposal of hazardous w88 sports betting requiring special handling or treatment (for example, shock sensitive chemicals and mixed waste); and regulatory fines or other regulatory penalties associated with improper handling, or disposal of hazardous w88 sports betting and wastes.
Principal Investigator/w88 sports betting Supervisor
When a w88 sports betting ceases operations for any reason or responsibility for the w88 sports betting is transferred to another PI, ensure that the w88 sports betting is closed out or transferred in accordance with this policy. Each PI is responsible for all instrumentation, hazardous materials, and equipment that is contained in any w88 sports betting space for which they are responsible or share responsibility, no matter where the space is located.
Ensure that materials transferred to another w88 sports betting (on campus or off campus) are packaged, labeled, and shipped in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations covering the specific hazardous materials to be transferred.
When a w88 sports betting closeout or transfer is not conducted according to this policy, the PI is responsible for the financial costs arising from the noncompliance through the use of operating funds under their purview. Examples of such costs include analysis of unknown or incompletely characterized hazardous materials; disposal of hazardous materials requiring special treatment or handling (for example, shock sensitive chemicals and mixed waste); and any regulatory fines or other regulatory financial penalties associated with improper labeling, handling, or disposal of hazardous materials and wastes.
Environmental Health and w88 sports betting Department
When written notification of a w88 sports betting closeout or transfer is received (via the w88 sports betting Closeout/Transfer Form), EH&S will schedule a meeting with the PI (or designated alternate) currently responsible for the w88 sports betting to evaluate specific requirements that must be completed prior to the closeout or transfer. Based on this evaluation, EH&S will provide a written summary to the responsible PI within 15 days after the evaluation.
Provide w88 sports betting waste containers, and sharps containers and autoclavable waste bags for biohazardous waste (all limited to standard EH&S-supplied containers and bags).
Provide guidance on characterization, handling, treatment, and disposal of biological, w88 sports betting, and radiological waste. Collect, transport, store, and coordinate final disposal of biohazardous sharps waste, and w88 sports betting and radiological waste. With regard to hazardous materials requiring special handling, treatment, or disposal (for example, shock sensitive compounds), EH&S provides technical guidance and assistance in coordinating removal and disposal by a third party (as required). Financial costs associated with handling and disposal of these materials are considered “exceptional expenses” and are the responsibility of the PI, with the academic department or administrative unit being secondarily responsible.
Provide guidance and assistance on packaging and labeling of hazardous w88 sports betting for transfer or shipment.
Procedures
- All w88 sports betting PIs who are closing out or transferring responsibility of their laboratories must submit w88 sports betting Closeout/Transfer Notification Forms (Appendix I) to EH&S at least 30 days prior to scheduled closeout or transfer date. This advance notice is needed for w88 sports betting clean out, transfer or disposal of hazardous materials, and to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Upon receipt of a notification form, EH&S will schedule a meeting with the PI (or designated alternate) to evaluate specific requirements that must be completed prior to the closeout or transfer EH&S will provide the PI with a written summary of the requirements within 15 days after the evaluation.
- The PI must also complete the w88 sports betting Closeout/Transfer Checklist (w88 sports betting), and submit it to their department (with a copy to EH&S). The PI will be considered responsible for the w88 sports betting space until all action items on the Checklist have been completed, and the Checklist has been signed by all parties and submitted to the PI’s home department, with a copy of the Checklist sent to EH&S. The academic department must provide a copy of the completed and signed checklist to the new occupant prior to their occupancy of the w88 sports betting. When responsibility for a w88 sports betting is transferred from one PI to another, the receiving PI must sign the Checklist indicating that they have accepted responsibility for the w88 sports betting in its current condition.
- Prior to any PI closing out or transferring his or her w88 sports betting, all biological, chemical, and radiological materials that will remain at the University must be transferred to another University PI or Department (by mutual agreement). Radiological materials can only be transferred to a user who is currently authorized to maintain and use the specific material. All transfers of radiological materials must be coordinated by the University Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). Chemical containers transferred to another University PI require that the University chemical inventory be updated to reflect the relocation. The PI will need to consult with EH&S as to the most efficient method to update the inventory database. Biological materials can be transferred to another PI who is authorized for the agent(s) by a currently approved Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement (MOUA).
These materials must be in appropriate containers and be properly labeled. Chemicals must be labeled with the w88 sports betting name, hazard information, and date the material was received or last used (if known). Peroxide-forming chemicals must be tested for peroxide levels, with the test date and results listed on the w88 sports betting container. Radioactive materials must be labeled with the identity of the radioisotope, activity, and date, and be packaged in leak-proof secondary containers. Biological materials must be labeled with the name of the biological agent, and hazard information (including biosafety or risk level). Biological materials must be packaged in leak proof secondary containers, as appropriate for the biosafety level.
EH&S personnel will assist in the safe transport of biological, w88 sports betting, and radiological materials on the university campus. - Transport of all radioactive w88 sports betting that are going with the PI must be coordinated through the RSO. This will ensure that the university’s radioactive material inventories are current, and that w88 sports betting are properly packaged and shipped.
- Off-site shipment of biological w88 sports betting and chemicals is the responsibility of the PI. EH&S will provide consultation on proper packaging and labeling of these w88 sports betting and inspect w88 sports betting prior to shipment. It is the responsibility of the PI to ensure that these w88 sports betting are shipped only to an authorized institution in accordance with state and federal regulations.
- All w88 sports betting equipment and labware, regardless of whether it is to be transferred to another institution or stay at the University, must be cleaned and decontaminated. Radiological decontamination must be verified by the RSO. This will protect new lab occupants from the unnecessary risk, expense, and inconvenience presented by contaminated materials.
- All radiation monitoring badges (personnel dosimeters) must be returned to the RSO prior to the w88 sports betting’s exit, as well as any radiation detection or shielding devices that may have been borrowed in support of special projects.
