Name: Dept: Date: 2018 Annual Survey of Biological and Chemical Agents regulated by Homeland Security (and carcinogens regulated by OSHA) Due (date) All labs that do not have a current chemical inventory in Chematix MUST complete this survey. The University is required to make an annual report of all chemicals on the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) lists. Additional information regarding the regulations is available on the EH&S website at http://www.safety.rochester.edu/restricted/occsafe/chemicalagent.html and https://www.selectagents.gov. 1. Please review the lists on the following pages and indicate if any are possessed by your lab. The CAS# has been added to the list for ease of searching databases. The CAS# is a Chemical Abstract Service numbering system which assigns a unique number to every chemical substance based on structure; this helps avoid confusion by use of synonyms or different naming conventions. a. If yes for possession, place an X in the applicable box and if requested, include the quantity held in your lab. b. If no, leave blank. 2. After reviewing the list, please complete the information box below (or on last page for possession), then sign, date and return to EH&S. 3. Please call Donna Douglass at 275-2402 if you have any questions. Thank you for your cooperation in collecting data required by the Department of Homeland Security! Possession: 1) Fill in applicable boxes, 2) have PI sign last page, 3) return all pages to Donna Douglass OR Non-possession: 1) Check only one box on the left, 2) sign, 3) return just this page to Donna Douglass I do not have a lab, do not work in a lab, nor do I possess any of the agents in this survey. I work in a lab for a Principal Investigator (i.e. they will be completing this survey for our lab). Principal Investigator: __________________________________ I have my own laboratory. We do not possess any of the agents in this survey. I have done a diligent search of the laboratory space under my possession, custody or control.

    Chemical Disinfectants for Biohazardous Materials (3/21)

    Safe Operating Procedure (Revised 3/21) CHEMICAL DISINFECTANTS FOR BIOHAZARDOUS MATERIALS ____________________________________________________________________________ Chemicals used for biohazardous decontamination are called sterilizers, disinfectants, sanitizers, antiseptics and germicides. These terms are sometimes equivalent, but not always, but for the purposes of this document all the chemicals described herein are disinfectants. The efficacy of every disinfectant is based on several factors: 1) organic load (the amount of dirt and other contaminants on the surface), 2) microbial load, 3) type of organism, 4) condition of surfaces to be disinfected (i.e., porous or nonporous), and 5) disinfectant concentration, pH, temperature, contact time and environmental humidity. These factors determine if the disinfectant is considered a high, intermediate or low-level disinfectant, in that order. Prior to selecting a specific disinfectant, consider the relative resistance of microorganisms. The following table provides information regarding chemical disinfectant resistance of various biological agents. Microbial Resistance to Chemical Disinfectants: Type of Microbe Examples Resistant Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (Mad Prions Cow) Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease Bacillus subtilis; Clostridium sporogenes, Bacterial Spores Clostridioides difficile Mycobacterium bovis, M. terrae, and other Mycobacteria Nontuberculous mycobacterium Poliovirus; Coxsackievirus; Rhinovirus; Non-enveloped or Small Viruses Adenovirus Trichophyton spp.; Cryptococcus sp.;

Maintain employee exposure records. • Provide emergency response for chemical spills. 3.2 Principle Investigator (PI) /Supervisor shall: • Develop and implement a laboratory specific standard operation plan for high hazard chemical use per OSHA 29CFR 1910.1450 (e)(3)(i); Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories. • Notify EH&S of the addition of a high hazard chemical not previously used in the laboratory. • Ensure personnel are trained on specific chemical hazards present in the lab. • Maintain Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all chemicals, either on the computer hard drive or in hard copy. • Coordinate the provision of medical examinations, exposure monitoring and recordkeeping as required. 3.3 Employees: • Complete all necessary training before performing any work. • Observe all safety
  • Abrin Fact Sheet

    Abrin Fact Sheet

    ABRIN FACT SHEET What is abrin? Abrin is a natural poison that is found in the seeds of a plant called rosary pea. Abrin can be made in the form of a powder, a mist and a pellet, or it can be dissolved in water. Abrin is a stable substance that can last for a long time in the environment regardless of extreme hot or cold temperature conditions. Avoid exposure to abrin because there is no antidote that exists. How can you be exposed to abrin? It will take a deliberate act to obtain abrin from rosary pea seeds and use it to poison people. Breathing in abrin (mist or powder) can expose you. You could be exposed if you touch any surfaces where the particles or droplets have landed or if the droplets have landed on your skin or in your eyes. You could ingest abrin if it is in the food or water. Abrin poisoning is not contagious. It cannot be spread from one person to another through casual contact. What are the immediate symptoms of exposure to abrin? If you inhale abrin, within a few hours you may have the following symptoms: difficulty breathing, fever, cough, nausea, heavy sweating, tightness in the chest and fluid building up in the lungs. If you ingest a large amount of abrin, you will develop vomiting and diarrhea that may become bloody. Next, severe dehydration followed by low blood pressure. Other symptoms may include hallucinations, seizures and blood in the urine. If you have skin and eye exposure, the mist or powder abrin can cause redness and pain of the skin and the eyes.
