Standard precautions SCIENCE | TECHNOLOGY | INNOVATION
Biological safety cabinets Biological safety cabinets (BSC) are used when working with specimens containing micro-organisms transmissible by the respiratory route or when work produces a significant risk from aerosol production. * Bunsen burners should not be used in Class II cabinets as they disrupt the laminar flow and the barrier air. * Laminar flow benches must never be used when handling pathogenic materials as any aerosols formed will be directed at the user.

Physical Containment (PC) facilities The OGTR has adopted the four-tier classification system based on AS/NZS 2243.3 for certifying facilities suitable for GMO dealings
Physical Containment (PC) facilities • Dealings must be conducted in a facility certified by the OGTR at a level appropriate to the potential risk posed by the dealing. • NB: PC4 is not applicable in the Swinburne context.
