1. Use the ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and open it in the editor.
2. Introduce yourself by filling in your name and the title of your project in the respective fields. Ensure that all information is accurate and complete.
3. In the first section, identify each potentially hazardous biological agent that will be used in your experiment. Be sure to include details such as the source, quantity, and biosafety level risk group for each microorganism.
4. Describe the site of experimentation. Include information regarding the level of biological containment that will be in place during your project.
5. Outline the method of disposal for all cultured materials and other potentially hazardous biological agents to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
6. Explain the procedures that will be implemented to minimize risk during the experiment. This should include details about personal protective equipment, type of hoods used, etc.
7. Provide your recommendation for the final biosafety level for the project based on the risk assessment you conducted.
8. The next section should be filled out by your qualified scientist or designated supervisor. They will detail the training you will receive for this project.
9. Your supervisor must confirm whether they concur with the biosafety information and recommendations you provided. If they do not concur, they are required to explain why.
10. Once all required sections are completed, ensure your supervisor's name and signature are included, along with the date of their signature.
11. The SRC must review the project prior to experimentation and indicate their approval for the study as either a BSL-1 study or a BSL-2 study, depending on the risk level assessment.
12. After experimentation, the SRC will provide a final approval based on the institutional pre-approval process with signatures and dates to confirm compliance.
13. Finally, review all completed sections for accuracy and clarity before saving your changes, downloading, printing, or sharing the form as required.
