Laboratory Relocation, Renovation,听and Decomissioning Guidelines

Laboratory Furniture and Equipment Removal and Relocation

Before research equipment (e.g., incubators, centrifuges, thermocyclers)听or furniture (eg., chairs, stools, cabinets)听may be removed from a research laboratory for relocation, renovation, or disposal, it must be decontaminated and/or rendered non-hazardous. Applicable research laboratory spaces听include, but are听not limited to:

• Biosafety Level 2 or greater laboratories
• Animal holding and/or research spaces
• Areas鈥痟ousing and/or working with radioactive materials
• Areas housing and/or working with hazardous chemicals

See the Laboratory Decommissioning Procedure document for detailed guidance. Please note that appropriate methods for decontaminating and removing hazards vary widely. Contact EH&S with any questions.

Once the furniture or equipment has been properly decontaminated / rendered non-hazardous, relocation or removal听may be requested directly through 麻豆视频作品Support Services via a Support Service Request (2FIX).听

Hazardous Material Relocation

In some cases, the relocation of hazardous materials warrants special procedures, especially if they听are to be transported to a different geographic location.听听Contact EH&S for consultation on hazardous material relocation.

Chemical Purge

A chemical purge is the disposal of a large quantity of chemical containers. A chemical purge differs from a typical chemical disposal in that the number or size of chemical containers is too great to be stored in the designated satellite waste storage area and special support is needed from EH&S in managing the amount of waste to be collected. Contact EH&S for consultation on a chemical purge.
