22、cation and training of personnel. It is recognized that good biotechnology laboratory practice requires suitable education and training of personnel, and the standard is written on the basis that staff have received appropriate training. Staff should have access to relevant sources of information, i
23、ncluding the results of biological risk assessment which determines the safe working procedures and practices in a given situation. A non-exclusive sample of relevant literature is given in annex B. There are many other texts relevant to specific items of biotechnology laboratory operations which ar
24、e not quoted. 1 Scope This European Standard gives guidance for practice for biotechnology operations in research, development and analysis laboratories of containment levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 (see EN 12128 and EN 12738). This European Standard aims at the protection of workers from biological hazards a
25、s well as the environment, including plants and animals. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.

31、laboratory suite one or more laboratories within a building, not necessarily of the same discipline or containment level, with ancillary rooms and with shared use of facilities EN 12128 3.3 microorganism any microbiological entity, cellular or non-cellular, capable of replication or of transferring
32、genetic material EN 1619 NOTE For the purposes of this standard, the term microorganism covers the term of biological agent, according to the Directive 90/679/EEC: microorganisms, including those which have been genetically modified, cell cultures and human endoparasites which may be able to provoke
33、 any infection, allergy or toxicity. 3.4 risk probability of occurrence of a hazard causing harm and the degree of severity of the harmPage 4 EN 12741:1999 BSI 11-1999 4 Basic practices for biotechnology laboratories 4.1 General All staff should be informed that good practice is fundamental to safet
34、y. Practices that could transfer hazardous material to mouth or skin should be avoided. Food and drink (other than samples submitted for scientific investigation) should not be taken into, consumed or stored in any area where organisms are handled. Smoking, the use of personal medications or the app
35、lication of cosmetics should not be permitted in these areas. Personnel should respect elementary rules of hygiene, should wash their hands when beginning work, whenever they have handled hazardous materials and on leaving the laboratory, after protective clothing has been removed. Hand drying shoul
36、d be carried out using disposable towels or other suitable materials. Disinfection and cleaning should be carried out as necessary. Hazards involved in operating laboratory equipment include long hair, jewellery, certain types of footwear and loose clothing that may be a factor in laboratory acciden
37、ts. Therefore proper attire including protective clothing appropriate for the hazard should be worn at all times. Mouth pipetting should be expressly forbidden. Pipetting devices should always be used for pipetting. Aerosol release into the workplace should be minimized. If hazardous aerosols are li
38、kely to be generated, the work should be carried out in a microbiological safety cabinet (see prEN 12469). NOTE Open-fronted cabinets (class I and II) allow some escape of airborne material. Inward airflow may be disturbed by, for example, people passing behind the operator, turbulence of air around
39、 equipment within the cabinet or sudden changes in air pressure within the room. Disturbances of this kind may reduce the validity of operator protection and validation of operator safety may be required in specific cases. The laboratory should be tidy and clean and should not contain anything that
40、is not related to the work. Working surfaces, including those of biological safety cabinets, should be decontaminated using a validated procedure whenever biological material is accidentally spilled, when an item of work has been completed and at the end of the working day (see clause 10). The weari
41、ng of laboratory coats and/or appropriate special clothing should be compulsory. When personnel leave the laboratory suite, the protective clothing should be removed and left in the changing area. Outdoor clothing should be kept separate from the working areas. When hazardous organisms are, or may b
42、e, present in laboratory suites, care should be taken to avoid distributing hazardous material from one unit to another. In some work areas or while certain operations are being carried out, it may be necessary to ensure that adequate measures exist for contacting workers. A suitable control policy
43、for insects and rodents should be implemented (see EN 12128). The use of hypodermic needles and other sharp instruments should be minimized and, where possible, avoided. Every worker handling them should develop a safe routine for their use, transport and disposal. All items of equipment within the
44、laboratory should conform to the requirements of appropriate European Standards (for example, see EN 12347, prEN 12469 and CR 12739). Equipment should be selected on the basis of the possibility of decontamination and of prevention or minimization of internal contamination. The maintenance and repai
45、r of equipment and apparatus should only be undertaken by personnel with appropriate experience, who should be issued with a permit to work and who should be made aware of the possibility of contamination with hazardous organisms. Equipment should be positioned so that it is stable and not prone to
46、tipping. Minor incidents, for example, spillage of small volumes of culture medium containing hazardous material, should be dealt with effectively, e.g. by covering the affected area and equipment with swabs of disinfectant. Disposable gloves should be worn during this operation; contaminated clothi
47、ng should be discarded and autoclaved. Broken glass should be swept carefully into a suitable container; all contaminated items of debris and equipment used to collect it should be decontaminated by a validated procedure. Action in the event of accidents and emergencies is considered in clause 8. Al
48、l material contaminated with hazardous material should be decontaminated. If this is done away from the laboratory, the material should be transferred in a durable, leakproof, closed container. The person in charge of the laboratory should be informed immediately of any accident. 4.2 Instruction and
49、 training Personnel should receive appropriate training for the work that is required of them. Information about safety measures should form an integral part of the induction training of new workers in laboratories. It is important to ensure that the basis of these safety measures is well understood in order to prevent human error and incorrect practices. Initial training should be supplemented by refresher or continuous training so as to keep up with developments in techniques and equipment. The role of heads of lab
