  1. Laboratory Moves

  2. It is important that the laboratory is safe: • For custodians to clean • For contractors to work in • For the next group of laboratory personnel to occupy

  3. Disposal and Decontamination of Biohazardous Waste In preparation for moving, observe the following guidelines: • Label ALL biohazardous waste red bags and sharps container • Dispose of all biohazardous waste red bags and sharps containers at approved accumulation sites • EHS will not pick-up biohazardous waste except in unusual situations • Chemically disinfect biohazardous waste • Autoclave liquid biohazardous waste and dispose of down the drain

  4. Moving the Biosafety Cabinet • Disinfect all BSC work surfaces prior to moving the BSC to a new facility. BSCs used for work with pathogenic organisms may require paraformaldehyde decontamination before being moved. • Each BSC must be recertified for correct airflow and filter integrity after it has been moved and placed in its final location.

  5. Moving or Disposing of Refrigeration Units • Clear all materials stored inside the refrigeration units. • Disinfect all refrigeration units prior to removal or disposal. • Obtain clearance notification from EHS prior to removal or disposal of refrigeration units.
