10+

Use this annual inspection checklist to verify compliance of PC2 laboratories handling GMOs with OGTR guidelines. It covers facility enclosure and surfaces, hand decontamination facilities, eyewash provision, aerosol containment using biosafety cabinets with current testing, autoclave validation and calibration, backflow prevention, structural changes affecting containment, and general requirements such as signage, suitable disinfectants, and pest control. It also includes behavioral requirements like restricting access to authorized personnel and ensuring user training aligned with OGTR PC2 guidelines, plus sign-off for accountability.

OGTR PC1 Laboratory Checklist
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.
