Refer to the UCT Research Integrity website (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://uct.ac.za/research-support-hub/research-integrity\" \u0014https://uct.ac.za/research-support-hub/research-integrity\u0015) and the document “Biosafety and biosecurity compliance in research, teaching, or testing activities in South Africa” (S. Groenewald) on the Biosafety and Biosecurity Resources website (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://uct.ac.za/staff/biosafety\" \u0014Biosafety | Staff\u0015) for an overview of the relevant South African biosafety and biosecurity compliance requirements.\nResponsibilities\nComplete the table with the specific responsibilities of the respective individuals or groups in the laboratory, e.g., Laboratory manager, H&S Officer, Researchers, Students, etc. Use job descriptions (not names as people may leave).\n\u000f\nBiosafety & Biosecurity Risk Assessment and Risk Management\nIntegrated risk assessment\nComplete the table and include the relevant information for each potentially hazardous biological agent (pHBA) (animal, pathogen, cell line, clinical specimen, GMO, etc.) and each laboratory procedure in which each agent is handled. Make use of pathogen safety data sheets, the ACDP approved list of biological agents, the pathogen, parasite and toxin lists included in SA legislation (OHS Act, Non-proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction Act, etc.) to characterise the hazard. Include each step in which possible exposure or release of the hazard could occur in the “Activities” column.\nOther control measures\nTRAINING: List general and/or specific biosafety training required to execute the procedure.\nNote: Training material and records must be available.\nBIOSECURITY: Include biosecurity considerations and/or requirements if relevant.\nSTORAGE: Biological material storage requirements. Specify how and where the specific material should be stored, access-controlled fridge/freezer required, etc.\nMEDICAL SURVEILLANCE: Describe specific screening, vaccination requirements/recommendations (to decrease the severity of possible harm), are there specific considerations for vulnerable groups, etc.\nSOPs: Refer to other relevant SOPs (Agent-specific, storage, spill procedures, etc.)\nDecontamination and spill procedures\nDescribe validated decontamination/inactivation procedures for the specific biological agent and the step of the protocol/procedure (attach proof of or refer to published validation of the method, degree of kill). Include the type, concentration and contact time of the disinfectant for each agent, procedure and equipment that will be used (spills inside equipment such as the BSC, outside the BSC, inside the centrifuge, etc.).\nWaste management\nDescribe how solid and liquid waste generated during this specific procedure should be handled and disposed of. There may be a general Waste Management SOP for the laboratory, and you can refer to that, but describe the specific disposal requirements for biologicals and chemicals handled during this procedure. Refer to specific waste containers and waste collection.\nEquipment and consumables\nList all the required equipment and consumables for the described procedure.\nSpecific procedure description\nInclude a detailed step-by-step description of the procedure/workflow to cover What? How? Where? A workflow diagram of the individual steps could also be pasted in for clarity. Add subheadings where required.\nSupporting documents\nList other referenced SOPs and other documents that are relevant to this procedure.\nDocument history\nComplete the table to keep track of changes to the SOP. All changes must be approved (according to internal requirements)","cbCaikKJ7flg4rde","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikKJ7flg4rde","docx",107612,"English","# Purpose and Scope\n## Abbreviations and Acronyms\n## Applicable Regulatory Requirements\n## Responsibilities\n## Biosafety & Biosecurity Risk Assessment and Risk Management\n## Decontamination and Spill Procedures\n## Waste Management\n## Equipment and Consumables\n## Specific Procedure Description\n## Supporting Documents\n## Document History","[{\"question\":\"What sections should be included when drafting a procedure-specific SOP?\",\"answer\":\"The template calls for purpose and scope, abbreviations, applicable regulatory requirements, responsibilities, a biosafety \\u0026 biosecurity risk assessment, decontamination and spill procedures, waste management, equipment and consumables, a detailed step-by-step procedure, supporting documents, and document history.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the template guide integrated biosafety and biosecurity risk assessment?\",\"answer\":\"It requires completing a table for each potentially hazardous biological agent and each laboratory procedure that handles the agent, characterizing hazards using relevant pathogen safety data, approved biological agent lists, and applicable legislation.
