Can a composting project be done at home or do we need to treat it as a PHBA study that needs preapproval and a 6A?
Composting studies are not considered PHBA studies and can be done at home. They do not require preapproval or that a risk assessment be documented on Form 6A. Instead, the student researcher, with the DesignatedSupervisor/Qualified Scientist, should complete a risk assessment before experimentation (using Form 3) to ensure that proper safety procedures will be followed.
