Consequence of Error/Judgement

Error in the operation of the CL3 facility would negatively impact users and significant research delays could be incurred. Failure to maintain compliance with federal regulations and standards would jeopardize facility operation and potentially endanger the health of users. Poor attention to detail and erroneous data will negatively impact on the progress and direction of research projects, including those performed by other lab members. Valuable reagents, research time, and money would be lost. CL3 hazard requires proper adherence to safe work practices to control the risk infection with RG3 agents.

FINDER facility policy dictates loss of access privileges to the CL3 lab and ability to work by anyone contravening FINDER operational practices. Loss of privileges will result if any of the following occurs:
1) Failure to follow directives provided by the FINDER Manager, FINDER Steering Committee, UBC Biosafety Committee, and UBC animal care committee.

2) Failure to follow approved Containment Level 3 SOPs.

3) Unauthorized after hours or weekend work

4) Working alone without proper authorization

5) Providing entry to unauthorized individuals

6) Unauthorized use of personal securi
