Environmental Sampling is used to monitor this DNA transfer/contamination and help reduce the chances of contamination to exhibits and samples.  \nThis procedure shall apply to all Environmental Monitoring performed by DNA Analysis including all areas where Coronial / DVI / Skeletal Remains testing is conducted on behalf of DNA Analysis.  \n2 DEFINITIONS  \nRisk – Risk is assessed according to the probability that a contamination would occur, the frequency of exposure to the risk and the possible consequences of the contamination. The level of risk determines the level of investigation required in the event of a profile being obtained from the Environmental Monitoring Samples.  \n3 ACTIONS  \n1. Environmental Sampling  \n1.1 To monitor for incidental and accidental DNA contamination by staff and by samples/exhibits processed within DNA Analysis and to determine the efficacy of cleaning procedures within DNA Analysis.  \n1.2 In the DNA Analysis Laboratory, Environmental Monitoring involves the sampling of areas that may come into direct or indirect contact with exhibits (including samples from exhibits) prior, during or after sampling that may cause contamination eg. Contamination of subsequent samples from benches or pipettes.  \n1.3 Environmental Sampling shall be conducted on a monthly basis before the deep clean. All staff may be required to assist in this process. Operational officers that are deemed competent in environmental may perform this task. Sampling of the Skeletal Remains Project shall be performed by Skeletal Remains Project staff.  \n1.4 Once a year environmental sampling shall be conducted before and after deep clean.  \nFSS.0001.0083.4463  \nEnvironmental Monitoring  \n2. Samples representative of the following areas shall be submitted, the areas sampled shall be chosen according to the risk of DNA contamination to the exhibits or samples. If contamination has been detected in previous month’s monitoring the Quality Officer may ask for a specific area to be tested to ensure that new cleaning procedures etc have been effective.  \n3. A minimum of five samples per section should be submitted. An attempt should be made to sample from different areas within each section each month which may include but not be limited to:  \na. Major Crime  \ni. Stainless Steel Benches  \nii. Metal drying rails  \niii. Examination Trolley / Bays/ Tackle boxes  \niv. Photocopier  \nv. Spray Bottles  \nvi. Laptop Computers  \nvii.
