How do I find out what biosafety level I am supposed to use for the infectious agents I work with?
The IBC uses the BMBL (above) or the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) http://www.atcc.org/), Health Canada (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/pphb-dgspsp/msds-ftss/index.html) or comparable sources for biosafety levels. 10. I am moving my lab to another building. What do I have to do? First, follow the lab exit process outlined at http://ehs.uky.edu/ohs/exit.html. Second, complete the Biosafety Modification Form and e-mail to the BSO, mfinu2@email.uky.edu. Third, make an appointment with the BSO for a laboratory audit of the new laboratory location before you are moved in to ensure that it is suitable for your research and to recommend equipment placement. The BSO will also inspect the laboratory after the biological safety cabinet has been recertified to ensure compliance with recommendations. 11. My research involves collecting saliva samples from patients in an outpatient clinic and then culturing for viruses in the research laboratory. Do I have to register with the IBC? YES, you must
