UWA Laboratory Decommissioning Checklist

This UWA MDHS laboratory decommissioning and project cessation checklist guides researchers and lab staff through a safe, compliant closeout. It covers contact and administrative steps, transfer of authority, and asset recording. Key actions include chemical inventory review and disposal manifests, treatment of Schedule 8 drugs, biosafety and radiation notifications, and verification of decontamination across benches, fume cupboards, biological safety cabinets, equipment, and floors. It also addresses cool rooms, -80 C freezers, liquid nitrogen storage, autoclaving and sharps disposal, cylinder handling, signage updates, removal of PC2 labels, and documentation to certify the lab is safe for access.
