Equipment Release for Moving - surplus or reuse
Overview: Once you determine what the disposition of the equipment should be please contact us to consult with to determine what type of disinfectant you should use as well as precautions to take while performing the task. Biological safety cabinets that have been used as primary containment with biohazardous materials must have formaldehyde gas decontamination or vapor phase hydrogen peroxide decontamination. OH&S is able to perform formaldehyde gas decontaminations. Under no circumstances should an individual in the lab attempt to perform formaldehyde gas decontaminations. After the appropriate decontamination or disinfection has been performed a form is available to complete and either fax or phone the contact person. Once the form has been received a time will be scheduled to come by the lab and place a Safety Release Tag on the equipment.
