Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinets shall NOT be located near exit doorways, stairways, or in a location that would impede egress.
An open flame or other ignition source could start a fire or cause an explosion if an accident or natural disaster brought the ignition source and flammable liquids or vapors together. This design guide applies to the storage of hazardous materials. Laboratory design shall include spill control and secondary containment for the storage of hazardous materials liquids in accordance with the requirements of Uniform Fire Code Sections When the hazardous materials stored in a control area are not in excess of the amounts specified in the tables below, such storage shall conform to the Building Code requirements for Group B Occupancy.
Please refer to Table 3-D, Table 3-E. Notes: A laboratory suite is a space up to 10, square feet square meters , bounded by not less than a one-hour fire-resistive occupancy separation within which the exempt amounts of hazardous materials may be stored, dispensed, handled or used.
Up through the third floor and down through the first basement floor, the quantity in this table shall apply. Fourth, fifth and sixth floors and the second and third basement floor level quantity shall be reduced to 75 percent of this table.
The seventh through the 10th floor and below the third basement floor level quantity shall be reduced to 50 percent of this table. The following permitting and reporting procedures have design and project approval implications for any facilities project.
California Building Code Chemical Inventory Report Procedure As noted in this and other sections, the quantity of hazardous chemicals planned for use and storage within a project area has a direct impact on how the project is designed. This procedure should be implemented at the point that a form I is submitted.
The end result of the procedure is a summarized report showing the quantities of hazard classes planned for a project compared to the California Building Limits shown in Appendix 1 of this section.
Contact the Stanford fire Marshal for further information. Every building at Stanford that stores chemicals must have a Hazardous Materials Business Plan permit from the city or county of jurisdiction before chemicals can be brought into the building. An annual permit fee is required based on the quantities of materials stored.
Laboratory ventilation and fume hoods and some other laboratory equipment are considered sources of air pollution. All teaching laboratories are categorically exempt. If the risk screen is not passed various mitigations must be considered. Generally even large laboratory projects pass the risk screen. All projects must be reviewed by the Stanford Utilities Department if a new connection is made to the sanitary sewer. The University holds a comprehensive permit for the main campus within the County of Santa Clara boundaries.
The Stanford Utilities Department Environmental Quality staff must review all projects involving wet lab construction or renovation. Sewer connections cannot be made until the building permit documentation has been submitted to the Stanford Utilities Department Environmental Quality staff. Note: One pound of black sporting powder and 20 pounds of smokeless powder are permitted in either sprinkled or non-sprinkled buildings. See Table All other ionizing radiation producing devices are regulated by the State of California, Department of Public Health.
Decommissioning of existing facilities is an activity regulated by the State of California; contact Health Physics as early as possible at least days before the planned initiation of construction. A plan for decommissioning must be drafted and submitted to the State, approved, and executed.
A report of findings with corrective actions stipulated must be submitted to the State and approved before demolition, renovation or construction can begin. Proposals for new facilities must be submitted to the Radiation Safety Program for review. Shared facilities for the use of radioactive materials should not be included in plans for new buildings.
If such facilities are deemed absolutely necessary, the facility must be under the direction, control and authority of a single principal investigator, who shall be accountable for maintaining the facility in a safe and orderly manner. Benches in laboratories must be capable of supporting weight of necessary shielding for gamma rays.
When work involves gamma emitters especially gamma irradiators the floors and coatings must be able to support the gamma shielding. When applicable, lead shielding must be incorporated in the structure. Based on the proposed type and quantities of radioactive materials, the Radiation Safety Program will determine the need for the shielding. Note that for x-ray producing machines, shielding calculations will be performed by the Radiation Safety Program.
Designs must be submitted to the State through the Radiation Safety Program. During construction the shielding must be inspected by the Radiation Safety Program while walls are open.
After completion, the effectiveness of the installed shielding and protective design features shall be evaluated by the Radiation Safety Program and required reports submitted to and accepted by the State prior to operation of the radiation producing machine.
Areas where radioactive materials or other radiation sources are used or stored shall be provided with adequate security e. High radiation areas or very high radiation areas as defined in 10 CFR Means to reduce exposure levels in the area may be required via an interlock device.
In some applications, means to monitor the radiation levels in the areas shall be provided. Adequate space must be available for radioactive wastes generated by projects within the lab. Most radioisotope projects will need about 10 sq. Radioactive wastes must be properly segregated by half-life categories.
Portals and viewing windows must be designed to prevent any exposure above the permissible threshold limit value. Class IV laser installations must be provided with interlocked warnings that indicate the status of the laser prior to entering the facility. Electrical outlets need to be positioned is such a manner that leakage of water coolant will not lead to risks of electrocution.
Ventilation requirements for the laboratories utilizing radioactive materials are dependent upon the types of materials used. Facilities that use radioactive gases shall be equipped with ventilation to adequately maintain concentrations to below allowable occupational exposure levels and to not permit escape of the gas to adjacent non-use areas such that concentrations exceed those allowed for uncontrolled areas.
The Radiation Safety Program will review the proposed uses and make specific recommendations appropriate for each facility. Depending on the type and quantities of radioactive materials or the location of the facility, fume hoods used with volatile radioactive materials have specific design requirements. Appropriate ventilation to remove laser generated airborne contaminants must be provided for Class IIIb and IV lasers.
Gas cabinets and adequate ventilation must be provided to mitigate the hazards associated with excimer laser gases or other lasers using toxic gases. For non-ionizing radiation sources, such as microwave, RF, research NMR spectrometers or infrared generators, the hazards and controls shall be evaluated by Health Physics prior to authorizing the user to use the source.
Because there are many sources of non-ionizing radiation and the means of control for most are unique, the user shall contact Health Physics for consultation and for requirements for authorization for the specific non-ionizing radiation source.
The user of the non-ionizing radiation source must submit to Health Physics, at a minimum, the standard operating procedures or applicable sections of the manufacturer s manuals, wavelength or frequency of the source, the power of the unit, dish or emitter dimensions, the experience level of the user, and a description of the proposed use of the source.
All of the biological research conducted at Stanford University involves low to moderate risk etiological agents as defined by the NIH. Section 1 of this Guide, General Requirements for Stanford Laboratories, covers all design requirements for Biosafety Level 1 laboratory work areas.
This section focuses primarily on the biosafety considerations for a Biosafety Level 2 laboratory. Proposed Biosafety Level 3 labs will be reviewed on a case by case basis depending on what biohazard material the principal investigator plans to use.
Air pressure in laboratories and animal care rooms should be negative in relation to the corridor or adjacent non-laboratory areas. Rooms housing immunocompromised animals should be at a positive pressure with respect to adjoining areas. Consult with SU Fire Marshall for design details. As a general rule, air should flow from low hazard to high hazard areas. Dedicated sterile tissue culture rooms should be balanced neutral or slightly positive with respect to adjoining areas.
Tissue culture rooms that involve the use of biohazardous agents shall be negative as stated in C-1 above. An autoclave should be provided with a canopy hood, slotted exhaust, or other suitable means of local exhaust. In addition, autoclave rooms should have a minimum of 10 air changes per hour.
Unpleasant heat and odors will linger in the room unless provided with effective local exhaust and adequate frequency of air changes. Cabinets, which when used and installed properly, will provide both product and personnel protection. However, if the cabinet is not installed properly e. For Biosafety Level 2 applications involving toxic chemicals or radionuclides, a Class II- B type cabinet must be installed.
Class II-B cabinets do not allow in-room venting of exhaust air and are thus appropriate for such uses. For Biosafety Level 2 applications, fume hoods are not appropriate; a fume hood is not designed for the usage of biological materials.
An appropriate biosafety cabinet must be used. The exact type of BSC should be specified early in the design process. The Biosafety cabinet shall be vented from the building if toxic or malodorous chemicals are used. A thimble connection to the exhaust is one way to exhaust a Class IIA cabinet. Where cabinets are connected to external ducts, a flow monitoring system with audible and visual annunciations shall be used to alert the cabinet users of loss of external ventilation.
Alternatively, thimble connections or canopy mini-enclosures in cabinets shall be fitted with a ribbon streamer or equivalent attached at an edge through which air enters the device to indicate the airflow direction. Biological safety cabinets BSCs must be located away from doors and other high traffic areas. Currents of air can disrupt and degrade the protective capability of the cabinet.
All attempts should be made to neutralize any interferences. A biosafety cabinet should not be installed directly opposite of another biosafety cabinet if spatial considerations allow otherwise.
Laminar airflow is greatly hindered by the operation of a biosafety cabinet located directly opposite of another biosafety cabinet or autoclave. It is recommended to provide at least six feet between cabinets. External air currents degrade the effectiveness of Biosafety cabinets. If possible, locate cabinets where air supply inlets will not interfere with performance. Exhaust from an autoclave may contain heat and moisture that will blow into the face of the cabinet.
This will cause air turbulence in the cabinet and adversely affect the performance of the unit. There is also an increase of potential contamination within the cabinet if the autoclave is not functioning properly since the steam may contain spores or aerosols.
A inch clearance should be provided behind and on each side of the cabinet to allow easy access for maintenance, and to ensure that the air return to the laboratory is not hindered.
When the BSC is hard-ducted or connected by thimble unit to the ventilation system adequate space must be provided so as not to interfere with air flow. These placement considerations are required to ensure maximum effectiveness of the primary barrier BSC.
Stanford University has taken a strong stance against the use of gas burners or alcohol flames in Biosafety cabinets. The decision has been made in accordance with recommendations from numerous agencies. All biosafety cabinets must be provided with an appropriate means of seismic stabilization. Note: The manufacturer should always be consulted to avoid possible damage to the pressurized cabinet volumes. Laboratory design must include an autoclave for sterilizing media, lab instruments, and medical waste as necessary.
Laboratory Facilities Secondary Barriers - Laboratory Facilities BL2 App. An autoclave may be required since heat and pressure can kill potentially infectious spores that resist other disinfectants. The autoclave need not be in the actual lab room, however should be available in close proximity. All autoclaves shall be seismically anchored. Biohazardous waste must be contained in appropriate secondary containers prior to disposal.
These waste receptacles are in addition to the non-hazardous waste bins used within the laboratory. Sufficient floor space must be planned in order to have enough room for the necessary waste containers.
All BSL2 laboratories shall have vacuum lines which are protected with liquid disinfectant traps and high efficiency particulate air HEPA filters or filters of equivalent or superior efficiency. Note: Filters must be maintained and routinely replaced, as necessary. Containment equipment such as a sink and eyewash will expedite personnel decontamination in the event of a splash or spill on the body.
Copyright Complaints. Design criteria are designated in the following ways: Shall: Criterion is mandated by applicable regulation s. The user of the Guide is required to include the design feature. Should: Criterion is advisory in nature, based on good engineering and safety practices. It is left to the discretion of the user of the Guide to include the design feature.
Good Practice 2. Large sections of glass shall be shatter resistant. Locating offices and write-up desks outside the laboratory environment allows for a safer workspace where food can be consumed, quiet work can be done, and more paper and books can be stored.
When write-up desks are located within the laboratory, they must be at the entrance of the laboratory, with the wet lab benches, fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, and equipment using or storing chemicals, biological materials, and radioactive materials located on the opposite side of the laboratory; this allows laboratory personnel and visitors to enter the laboratory without traveling through the hazardous materials zone of the lab.
Windows 3. Each laboratory must contain a sink for handwashing. Laboratory sinks shall have lips that protect sink drains from spills. Chemical storage shelves shall not be placed above laboratory sinks.
