Biosafety Manual IBC-approved version (May 18, 2010) Ice chest with secure lid as an outer package. Source: unidentified. Biohazard label for inner and outer containers. Source: 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(1) • Outer packaging: o The outer packaging must be a strong and tight packaging made of a rigid material. It must also be securely closed. Examples include a cardboard, plastic, or metal box or pail with a secure lid. A plastic carrier that is leakproof, easy to clean, and has a secure lid is typically the best package for biological materials (e.g., ice chest or enclosed laboratory tube carrier). o Packing material or racks must be used between the inner container(s) and outer packaging as needed to keep the container(s) upright, cushion the container(s), and prevent the container(s) from shifting or damage. o Sufficient absorbent material must be inside the outer packaging to absorb the entire contents of all inner liquid container(s). o The exterior of the outer packaging must be labeled with the same information required for the inner container. The common name(s) or shipping name(s) of the materials must be used. o Outer packaging must be secured against shifting inside the vehicle during transport. Generally, the safest place to secure biological materials is in a vehicle trunk. If hazardous materials are also transported, these materials must be placed in the trunk or truck bed. Material quantity of regulated biological material: • Each inner container must not be more than 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) or 0.5 L (17 ounces), and an aggregate contained within the entire outer package must not be more than 4 kg (8.8 lbs) or 4 L (1 gallon), or • A single inner container containing not more than 16 kg (35.2 lbs) or 16 L (4.2 gallons) that is inside a single outer package. Ice and dry Ice. Ice and dry ice may be used inside the package to keep the biological materials cold. Ice must be packaged so that any melting water will be contained inside the outer packaging. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide that will sublimate into gas, so dry ice must be placed in packaging that is not gas-tight (e.g., ice chest). Dry ice is only regulated as a hazardous material in air transport, but is not regulated in ground (e.g., motor vehicle) transport in the U.S. Hazard communication. The operator of a motor vehicle that contains a regulated biological material must be informed of the presence of the material, and must be informed of the requirements in this section. Printed copies are not official versions of this manual. Before using the printed copy, verify that it is the most current version. 170
Biosafety Manual IBC-approved version (May 18, 2010) H.3.1.4 Personal Transportation on an LBNL Bus Personal transportation on an LBNL bus means the packaged biological material is carried by an LBNL employee on an LBNL shuttle bus. The following materials must not be transported on an LBNL bus: regulated biological materials, medical/biohazardous waste, or other biological materials that may present a detrimental risk to the health of humans or other organisms, either directly through infection or indirectly through damage to the environment. Any other biological materials transported by this means are not subject to transportation regulations, but the biological materials should be transported according to the packaging and labeling criteria described in Section H.3.1.3 (Personal Transportation in a Motor Vehicle) above. H.3.2 LBNL Receiving, Transportation, and Shipping Receiving, transportation, and shipping of biological materials are conducted institutionally from Building 69 by Resource Services in the Facilities Division. These services are conducted in accordance with PUB-3000, Section 5.8 (Traffic and Transportation), DOT HMR, IATA DGR, and by personnel with appropriate regulatory qualifications. For questions about shipping or receiving biological materials, contact LBNL Shipping at 510-486-5084 or LBNL Receiving at 510-486-4935. H.3.2.1 LBNL Receiving Biological materials that are shipped by a contracted shipping company (i.e., common carrier) to LBNL must be received by LBNL Receiving and are typically delivered to the requestor via LBNL Transportation in the packaging and with the documentation that was received from the common carrier. H.3.2.2 LBNL Transportation This section covers the pickup and delivery of biological materials or items that contain biological materials (e.g., freezers) within LBNL by LBNL Transportation or a carrier authorized by Transportation. Transportation of materials must be requested through the Facilities Work Request Center, and a completed Transportation Authorization Form (TAF) must be attached to each item to be transported. Additional directions include: • When placing a work request for transportation, the requestor will be asked if the item to be transported contains hazardous materials. The requestor should declare that the item does not contain hazardous materials if the item to be transported does not contain regulated biological material as described in Section H.4 or other hazardous materials. • If the item does not contain a regulated biological or other hazardous material, the requestor should package and label the biological materials as described in Section H.3.1.3 (Personal Transportation in Motor Vehicle) of this appendix. • If the item contains a regulated biological or other hazardous material, the requestor should consider personal transportation of the item in a motor vehicle (see Section H.3.1.3 of this appendix) if allowed (see Table H-1), or contact LBNL Shipping for advice and directions. Printed copies are not official versions of this manual. Before using the printed copy, verify that it is the most current version. 171
