BIOLOGICAL HAZARDSDefinitions

• Hazardous biologics are those that will cause injury to humans, animals or the environment.

• These are classified by Biosafety Level (BSL), which refers to the mode of transport and the level of infection.

• BSL 1 is a normally occurring biological at environmental levels which may cause limited pathogenesis in humans, animals or plants. BSL 1 are allowable on campus.

BSL 1 Definition

BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS• BSL 2 are classified as having potential

for pathogenesis but not airborne transport. Low potential for vector infection or death. UMES is working toward a BSL 2 lab. We cannot order BSL 2 biologics to date?

• BSL 3 are classified as being pathogenic and airborne transport. High potential for vector infection. These biologics usually result in death. We cannot order BSL 3 or higher biologics to date.

AREA BSL NOTIFICATION

• Anyone entering as part of work or research must be trained concerning the hazards in their workplace.

• All labs using biologics should have the level of the biologic posted on the door and limited access.

• Yellow BIOSAFETY warning notices, for research with BSL 2 or higher, must be posted on the exterior door.

HANDLING HAZARDOUS BIOLOGICS• Ordering of BSL materials must be

approved by the EHS and the BSC.

• BSL 1 require minimum protection of gloves and goggles.

• BSL 2 require limited access and exposure and should not be used without prior instruction from EHS and the UMES Biosafety committee.

• BSL 3 and higher are not allowed on campus at this time.

BIOSAFETY DISINFECTION

• Surfaces used with biologics must be disinfected by the method described in the MSDS.

• At a minimum, this includes the use of a disinfecting compound or device, such as UV light.

• Gloves, even unused, may not be worn outside the laboratory.

HAZARDOUS BIOLOGICAL WASTE DISPOSAL

• Biologics, including media, and cells, should be autoclaved before disposal.

• Use a regular PE bag and autoclave tape to autoclave BSL 1 level biologics and trash.

• Use a sealed box inside a regular PE bag and autoclave tape to autoclave BSL 1 spent needles and sharps.

• The BIOSAFETY orange autoclave bags and/or sharps disposal boxes are reserved for use with BSL2 and higher.

HAZARDOUS BIOLOGICAL WASTE DISPOSAL

• Disposal procedure and the label must follow the instructions provided for Hazardous Biological Waste Disposal located on the EHS website:– www.umes.edu/EHS

• Label all hazardous chemical waste bottles, with the appropriate EHS label prior to conducting the experiment.

Biological Waste Disposal Procedure

Charge for Waste Disposal

• Your grant/department will be charged for all hazardous waste disposal. This may be included in the overhead of grants.

• Unknown waste costs $4000/bottle. Please label materials and waste.

• It is a violation to “dump” your waste in another area. It must disposed from the area from which it was generated.

Penalties for Violation

• You can be fined $1000 per day per violation by either UMES, any state authority or any federal authority.

• If you knowingly violate any UMES mandates, you will be fined and face possible imprisonment.

• If you witness any violations, you should report those to EHS immediately.

Laboratory Safety – Video Training

• Proper laboratory procedure,

• Maintaining safe laboratory techniques.

• At this time, please play the American Chemical Society’s film on Safety.

Laboratory Safety• In addition to learning experimental method, a

purpose of this laboratory is to train students to develop good, safe work habits.

• To establish these habits, these guidelines assume that the student is always exposed to the most hazardous situation, use with the strong, toxic, reactive corrosive, flammable chemicals. In reality, you probably will not be exposed to these in our labs.

• We expect any student at doctoral level of training to have the ability to make an informed decision on how to protect themselves.

Laboratory Safety

• Another purpose of this class is to train students for professional employment.

• Therefore, the students must follow the guidelines outlined by the Pharmacy Faculty Coordinator, their TA and the UMES guidelines.

• We also strongly encourage the students not to request any exceptions from these rules.

Safety- Laboratory Procedure Burn Prevention

Burns from Heated Items:• A hot item looks just like a cold item. • Don’t touch any glassware or

equipment that has been heated for any length of time without first checking to see if it is not.

• If you burn yourself, immediately submerge the burn in water. Seek treatment.

Safety- Laboratory Procedure Cut Prevention

Cuts from Broken Glassware:

• In the event of broken glassware cuts, please notify the PI/FI if the glassware is contaminated.

• If contaminated glassware, post a hazard notice on the box.

• Paper Trash goes in the Trash Can.

• Locate the Trash Can.

Safety Equipment - Eyes

Eyewash Station

• The most used equipment is the eyewash station. – Most used because students fail to wear goggles

and splashes occur. – Locate the eye wash station.

• Your partner should assist you to and with the eyewash station in the event you splash chemicals in your eyes or on your face.


Eyewash Station

• Instructions for USE:– Push the panel “ON”. The water will begin to

run. It will stay in the “ON” running water position until it is pushed “OFF”.

– Wash your eyes - hold your eyes open, and roll your eyes in the stream of water for 15 minutes.

– If wearing contacts, wash for 1 minute remove contacts and continue for 15 minutes.

– Pull the panel to the “OFF” position. The water will stop running.


Eyewash Station

• In the event a hazardous chemical splashes in your eye, immediately seek medical attention.

• The eyewash station should be purged during your laboratory to ensure that the water is clean and bacteria free.

Safety Equipment - Body

Safety Shower Whole Body Contamination:• The lab should provide a safety shower for washing

off chemicals due to full body spill. • In the event of an emergency:

– Pull the shower cord.

– While under water, remove clothing.

– Wash for 15 minutes.

– Seek Immediate Medical Attention.

– Report incident.

•

Safety Equipment – Fires

Fire Extinguisher

• In the event of a small fire, a fire extinguisher has been provided in the lab.

for the fire type. Pull the pin and use short blasts to extinguish a fire.


• Safety Attire






Safety - First Aide Burns

• Burns received in the laboratory are of special concern as they may also be contaminated and are especially prone to infection. – **If you burn yourself, immediately submerge the burn

in clean cool water. This will reduce the severity of the burn if performed within 20 seconds of contacting heat source.**

– If the burn appears blistered, whitish or intense red color, please call the emergency phone to receive immediate medical care.

– Care should be taken to not get the burn infected nor burst the blister.

– Seek medical treatment.

Safety - First Aide Cuts

• Cuts received in the laboratory are of special concern as they may be contaminated and are prone to infection. – Wash minor cuts with soap and water.

– Treat minor cuts with whatever first aide you deem appropriate.

– Large cuts and/or heavily bleeding cuts should be attended by emergency personnel. Please call the emergency phone to receive immediate medical care.

– Seek Medical Treatment if the cut becomes infected.

Safety - First Aide Kit
