OGTR PC1 Laboratory Checklist

by Amanda Norton, from the Community

10+

This OGTR PC1 laboratory checklist helps facilities verify compliance with Australian biosafety requirements for work involving GMOs and low-risk microorganisms. It covers facility security and signage, surfaces and furnishings, handwashing and eyewash availability, and the use and certification of biological safety cabinets. Sections guide decontamination practices, disinfectant suitability and expiry, autoclave calibration and validation, and routine bench and equipment cleaning. Waste segregation and GMO waste processing are addressed, along with backflow prevention, staff behavior requirements, PPE and lab coat storage, and measures to minimize aerosols. Storage and transport controls for GMOs, centrifuge safety, sharps handling in line with AS4031, and emergency preparedness with spill kits and documented procedures are included. Records for staff training, induction, biosafety modules, risk management, laboratory procedures, and emergency plans are also captured.
