Biosafety Level 1 Self-Assessment

by UT Biosafety, from the Community

This Biosafety Level 1 self-assessment checklist helps laboratories review compliance with core BSL-1 requirements. It covers access control and signage, housekeeping and routine disinfection, spill readiness, sharps management, biological waste handling and decontamination, and appropriate use and removal of PPE. It also verifies records of initial, refresher, and lab-specific biosafety training. Suitable for academic and research labs, the checklist concludes with comments and a laboratory representative signature.

Teaching Lab Review Checklist
This teaching lab review checklist helps academic laboratories assess biosafety readiness across signage, housekeeping, sharps and biological waste disposal, autoclave validation, and handwashing and eyewash access. It includes checks for biosafety cabinets, PPE use and care, spill and exposure response, BSL-2 practices, sample storage and transport, and training documentation. Use it to identify mandatory corrections, capture results and comments, and align with CDC and NIH BMBL guidance and institutional biosafety policies. Ideal for laboratory coordinators and instructors to standardize reviews and improve compliance.
