272 29 CFR Ch. XVII (7–1–10 Edition) §1910.1030 (iii) Labeled or color-coded in accord- ance with paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this standard; and (iv) Closed prior to removal to pre- vent spillage or protrusion of contents during handling, storage, transport, or shipping. (C) Disposal of all regulated waste shall be in accordance with applicable regulations of the United States, States and Territories, and political subdivisions of States and Territories. (iv) Laundry. (A) Contaminated laun- dry shall be handled as little as pos- sible with a minimum of agitation. (1) Contaminated laundry shall be bagged or containerized at the location where it was used and shall not be sorted or rinsed in the location of use. (2) Contaminated laundry shall be placed and transported in bags or con- tainers labeled or color-coded in ac- cordance with paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this standard. When a facility utilizes Universal Precautions in the handling of all soiled laundry, alternative label- ing or color-coding is sufficient if it permits all employees to recognize the containers as requiring compliance with Universal Precautions. (3) Whenever contaminated laundry is wet and presents a reasonable likeli- hood of soak-through of or leakage from the bag or container, the laundry shall be placed and transported in bags or containers which prevent soak- through and/or leakage of fluids to the exterior. (B) The employer shall ensure that employees who have contact with con- taminated laundry wear protective gloves and other appropriate personal protective equipment. (C) When a facility ships contami- nated laundry off-site to a second facil- ity which does not utilize Universal Precautions in the handling of all laun- dry, the facility generating the con- taminated laundry must place such laundry in bags or containers which are labeled or color-coded in accord- ance with paragraph (g)(1)(i). (e) HIV and HBV Research Labora- tories and Production Facilities. (1) This paragraph applies to research labora- tories and production facilities en- gaged in the culture, production, con- centration, experimentation, and ma- nipulation of HIV and HBV. It does not apply to clinical or diagnostic labora- tories engaged solely in the analysis of blood, tissues, or organs. These re- quirements apply in addition to the other requirements of the standard. (2) Research laboratories and produc- tion facilities shall meet the following criteria: (i) Standard microbiological practices. All regulated waste shall either be in- cinerated or decontaminated by a method such as autoclaving known to effectively destroy bloodborne patho- gens. (ii) Special practices. (A) Laboratory doors shall be kept closed when work involving HIV or HBV is in progress. (B) Contaminated materials that are to be decontaminated at a site away from the work area shall be placed in a durable, leakproof, labeled or color- coded container that is closed before being removed from the work area. (C) Access to the work area shall be limited to authorized persons. Written policies and procedures shall be estab- lished whereby only persons who have been advised of the potential bio- hazard, who meet any specific entry re- quirements, and who comply with all entry and exit procedures shall be al- lowed to enter the work areas and ani- mal rooms. (D) When other potentially infectious materials or infected animals are present in the work area or contain- ment module, a hazard warning sign in- corporating the universal biohazard symbol shall be posted on all access doors. The hazard warning sign shall comply with paragraph (g)(1)(ii) of this standard. (E) All activities involving other po- tentially infectious materials shall be conducted in biological safety cabinets or other physical-containment devices within the containment module. No work with these other potentially in- fectious materials shall be conducted on the open bench. (F) Laboratory coats, gowns, smocks, uniforms, or other appropriate protec- tive clothing shall be used in the work area and animal rooms. Protective clothing shall not be worn outside of the work area and shall be decontami- nated before being laundered.
