Standard microbiological practices for BSL-
1. Access to the laboratory limited or restricted at the discretion of the laboratory director when experiments or workwith cultures and specimens are in progress.2. Persons wash their hands after they handle viable materials, after removing gloves, and before leaving thelaboratory.3. Eating, drinking, smoking, handling contact lenses, applying cosmetics, and storing food for human use are notpermitted in the work areas. Persons who wear contact lenses in laboratories should also wear goggles or a faceshield. Food is stored outside the work area in cabinets or refrigerators designated and used for this purpose only.4. Mouth pipetting is prohibited; mechanical pipetting devices are used.p p^ g^ p^

5. Policies for the safe handling of sharps are instituted.6. All procedures are performed carefully to minimize the creation of splashes or aerosols.7 W^ k^ f^ d^

7. Work surfaces are decontaminated at least once a day and after any spill of viable material.8. All cultures, stocks, and other wastes are decontaminated before disposal by an approved decontamination methodsuch as autoclaving. Materials to be decontaminated outside of the immediate laboratory are to be placed in adurable, leak proof container and closed for transport from the laboratory. Materials to be decontaminated outside ofthe immediate laboratory are packaged in accordance with applicable local state and federal regulations beforethe immediate laboratory are packaged in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations beforeremoval from the facility.9. A biohazard sign can be posted at the entrance to the laboratory whenever infectious agents are present. The signmay include the name of the agent(s) in use the name and phone number of the investigator.10. An insect and rodent control program is very much needed.
