What are the biosafety level 2 regulations?

BSL-2, continued Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn, including lab coats and gloves. All procedures that can cause infection from aerosols or splashes are performed within a biological safety cabinet (BSC) . An autoclave or an alternative method of decontamination is available for proper disposals.

How many BSL 3 labs are in the US?

Safety Protocols The use of PPE, including lab coats, gloves, eye protection, and — in some cases — face shields. Decontamination of infectious materials prior to disposal, generally through the use of an autoclave. Self-closing, lockable doors. Access to a sink and eyewash station. Biohazard warning signs.

What is the BSL regulation?

A biosafety level (BSL), or pathogen/protection level, is a set of biocontainment precautions required to isolate dangerous biological agents in an enclosed laboratory facility. The levels of containment range from the lowest biosafety level 1 (BSL-1) to the highest at level 4 (BSL-4).

Who has BSL 2 requirements?

Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) BSL-2 laboratories must also have access to equipment that can decontaminate laboratory waste, including an incinerator, an autoclave, and/or another method of decontamination, depending on the biological risk assessment. Access to the laboratory is restricted when work is being conducted.

How much does BSL-2 lab cost?

For containment level specific operations, the baseline estimated costs they came up with were $29 per sf for a BSL-2 lab, close to $90 per sf for BSL-3 labs, and $228 per sf for a BSL-4 lab.

What qualifies as BSL2?

Biosafety Level 2 (BSL2) practices, equipment, and facility design are applicable to clinical, diagnostic, teaching, and other laboratories in which work is done with moderate-risk agents that are present in the community and associated with human. Hepatitis B virus, HIV, the salmonellae, and Toxoplasma spp.

What universities have BSL-4 labs?

There are currently only four operational BSL-4 laboratory suites in the United States: at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta; at the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland; at the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research
