Lecture 2A - Governing Agencies Flashcards
BOB
Bureau of Biologics
Purpose of BOB
The regulation and production of allergenics, cellular and gene therapy products, vaccines, and tissues and tissue products.
CLSI
Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute
CHP
Chemical Hygiene Plan
HCS
Hazard Communication Standard
ECP
Exposure Control Plan
Purpose of the CHP
To protect laboratory workers from hard due to hazardous chemicals; written document developed by the EMPLOYER.
Purpose of HCS
To ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are classified, and that information concerning the classified hazards is transmitted to employers and employees.
What are 4 items that the HCS has implemented that needs to be on all chemicals.
(1) Signal word
(2) Pictogram
(3) Hazard Statement
(4) Precautionary Statement

ECP
Exposure Control Plan
The ECP is an OSHA Mandated Program that requires that laboratories do what?
(1) Have a plan that ensures the safety of laboratory employees from potentially infectious bloodborne pathogens
(2) Manage and handle medical waste properly
Standard Precaution
Recommended safety policies used for handling all biological (patient) samples indicating that the operator should treat every specimen as if it were infectious!
What is Elimination in the Hierarchy of Controls?
Physically removing the hazard
What is Substitution in the Hierarchy of Controls?
Replacing the Hazard
What is Engineering Controls in the Hierarchy of Controls?
Isolate people from the hazard
What is Administrative Controls in the Hierarchy of Controls?
Changing the way people work.
What is PPE in the Hierarchy of Controls?
Protect the worker with Personal Protective Equipment
What is the most effective in the Hierarchy of Controls?
Elimination
What is the least effective in the Hierarchy of Controls?
PPE
What is the order PPE should be put on?
Gown; mask or respirator; goggles or face shield; gloves
What is the order PPE should be taken off?
Gown and gloves; goggles or face shield; mask or respirator; wash hands
What are examples of engineering controls?
Ventilation, BSCs, Vacutainer needle shields, Sharps container, body shields
