H.3.1.4 Personal Transportation on an LBNL Bus<br />
Personal transportation on an LBNL bus means the packaged biological material is carried by<br />
an LBNL employee on an LBNL shuttle bus. The following materials must not be transported on<br />
an LBNL bus: regulated biological materials, medical/biohazardous waste, or other biological<br />
materials that may present a detrimental risk to the health of humans or other organisms, either<br />
directly through infection or indirectly through damage to the environment. Any other biological<br />
materials transported by this means are not subject to transportation regulations, but the<br />
biological materials should be transported according to the packaging and labeling criteria<br />
described in Section H.3.1.3 (Personal Transportation in a Motor Vehicle) above.<br />
H.3.2 LBNL Receiving, Transportation, and Shipping<br />
Receiving, transportation, and shipping of biological materials are conducted institutionally from<br />
Building 69 by Resource Services in the Facilities Division. These services are conducted in<br />
accordance with PUB-3000, Section 5.8 (Traffic and Transportation), DOT HMR, IATA DGR,<br />
and by personnel with appropriate regulatory qualifications. For questions about shipping or<br />
receiving biological materials, contact LBNL Shipping at 510-486-5084 or LBNL Receiving at<br />
510-486-4935.<br />
H.3.2.1 LBNL Receiving<br />
Biological materials that are shipped by a contracted shipping company (i.e., common carrier) to<br />
LBNL must be received by LBNL Receiving and are typically delivered to the requestor via<br />
LBNL Transportation in the packaging and with the documentation that was received from the<br />
common carrier.<br />
H.3.2.2 LBNL Transportation<br />
This section covers the pickup and delivery of biological materials or items that contain<br />
biological materials (e.g., freezers) within LBNL by LBNL Transportation or a carrier authorized<br />
by Transportation. Transportation of materials must be requested through the Facilities Work<br />
Request Center, and a completed Transportation Authorization Form (TAF) must be<br />
attached to each item to be transported. Additional directions include:<br />
• When placing a work request for transportation, the requestor will be asked if the item to<br />
be transported contains hazardous materials. The requestor should declare that the item<br />
does not contain hazardous materials if the item to be transported does not contain<br />
regulated biological material as described in Section H.4 or other hazardous materials.<br />
• If the item does not contain a regulated biological or other hazardous material, the<br />
requestor should package and label the biological materials as described in Section<br />
H.3.1.3 (Personal Transportation in Motor Vehicle) of this appendix.<br />
• If the item contains a regulated biological or other hazardous material, the requestor<br />
should consider personal transportation of the item in a motor vehicle (see Section<br />
H.3.1.3 of this appendix) if allowed (see Table H-1), or contact LBNL Shipping for advice<br />
and directions.<br />
