At Stanford University, the recent construction and development of a large multi-discipline research building provided Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) staff with the opportunity to address safety and compliance issues before they become entrenched. This article discusses the challenges encountered and lessons learned in helping ensure the safe start-up of a large multi-discipline research laboratory building. Primary EH&S efforts taken include the use of an institutional laboratory health and safety planning and design guide, review of building plans, pre-move planning, post-move inspections, and walkthroughs.

Numerous methods for cleaning laboratory glassware are currently available. Existing analytical method constraints at Roche Colorado Corporation (RCC), a Responsible Care company, limit the use of dishwashers and other automated glassware cleaning systems. Therefore, solvent-based laboratory glassware cleaning is performed to remove interfering residues, and represents an area of potential occupational exposure to chemicals. Typical cleaning steps include an initial solvent wash, soap and water cleansing, and a final solvent rinse to dry the glassware. Acetone, a common solvent used for this purpose, has an American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist (ACGIH) TLV-TWA (8 hr) of 500 ppm and TLV-STEL (15 min) of 750 ppm. Exposure monitoring during glassware cleaning indicated that airborne concentrations of acetone may exceed these occupational exposure limits (OELs). To address the potential exposure to acetone vapors, engineering controls, consisting of a custom countertop slotted sink hood and an in-sink downdraft system, have been designed and implemented. Field validation indicated that both ventilated sinks were effective at controlling airborne acetone concentrations well below acetone's OELs.

The need for biodefense research in the wake of the anthrax attacks that followed 9/11 is changing the nature of research and the manner in which it is conducted on University campuses. A huge federal investment in biodefense is leading to more applied research conducted in high containment laboratories on college campuses. Biosecurity concerns are starting to exceed those of biosafety. Compliance with the many new oversight regulations is challenging to the research and safety communities. A series of legal cases discussed in this paper show that compliance is essential—the government is serious about criminal prosecution. The focus of biosecurity is not only on safeguarding dangerous pathogens and toxins; it also is directed to information and knowledge that may be misused. Systems are being developed that will force the academic safety community to determine what information is dangerous and what knowledge must be constrained.
