The Importance of Redundant Systems in High-Containment Laboratory Design

In the realm of high-containment laboratories, where safety, reliability, and precision are paramount, the design and construction phases demand meticulous attention to detail. One of the most crucial aspects that often distinguishes a well-functioning laboratory from a potentially hazardous one is the incorporation of redundant systems. These systems ensure that critical safety measures remain operational even in the face of unexpected failures, thereby safeguarding both personnel and the research being conducted. Understanding Redundant Systems in Laboratory Design Redundant systems refer to the implementation of backup or secondary systems that can take over the function of a primary system if it fails. In high-containment laboratories, such as those classified as BSL-3 or ABSL-3, where work involves dangerous pathogens or hazardous materials, redundancy is not just a recommendation—it’s a necessity. These laboratories must adhere to safety guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). For instance, in the design of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems within these labs, redundancy ensures that air filtration and directional flow are maintained even if one component fails. This is vital in preventing the escape of harmful agents into the environment. Similarly, redundant containment systems, such as double-walled isolation chambers or backup power supplies for critical systems, provide an additional layer of security. Case Study: University Client The recent project for a university to design a BSL-3 laboratory serves as a prime example of the importance of redundant systems. During the design phase, World BioHazTec emphasized the need for integrated redundant systems to ensure the lab’s safety and compliance with industry standards. By proactively identifying potential weaknesses in the design, such as HVAC failure scenarios, and addressing them through redundancy, the project team was able to avoid costly rectifications later in the construction and commissioning phases. Another key focus was implementing administrative controls alongside redundant engineering controls. This approach ensured that even if a primary control system failed, the secondary system would maintain safety protocols, thereby reducing the risk of containment breaches. Why Redundancy Matters The primary reason for incorporating redundant systems in high-containment labs is to protect human life and the environment. In these labs, where the stakes are incredibly high, a single failure can lead to catastrophic consequences. Redundant systems act as a safety net, ensuring that the lab remains secure even in the worst-case scenario. Moreover, redundancy in design also facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements. In the United States, agencies like the CDC require laboratories to demonstrate that they have adequate safety measures in place to handle any potential failures. By integrating redundant systems from the outset, labs can more easily meet these stringent requirements, ensuring a smoother commissioning process. Conclusion Redundant systems are not just an added feature in high-containment laboratories—they are a critical component of safe, reliable and sustainable design. As our university client project illustrates, the careful planning and implementation of these systems can make the difference between a safe, compliant laboratory and one that poses significant risks. For any organization involved in designing or operating high-containment labs, investing in redundancy is investing in safety, compliance, and the long-term success of their research endeavors.

Ensuring Biorisk Management in BSL-3 Labs: Can ISO 35001:2019 Stand Alone?

ISO 35001:2019, “Biorisk Management for Laboratories and Other Related Organizations,” was introduced to address the unique challenges of managing biological risks. This standard focuses on establishing, implementing, maintaining, and enhancing biorisk management systems. It aims to identify, evaluate, and mitigate biological hazards, promoting a secure workplace and compliance with regulatory requirements. While it offers a solid foundation for biorisk management across various biosafety levels, its applicability in high-containment environments like BSL-3 labs warrants a closer examination. Understanding ISO 35001:2019 ISO 35001 provides a universal framework for biorisk management across Biosafety Levels (BSL 1-4). It emphasizes foundational principles but lacks site-specific or technical requirements, especially critical for BSL-3 and BSL-4 facilities. Applying ISO 35001 to BSL-3 Environments BSL-3 laboratories handle infectious agents that pose significant health risks. These labs must adhere to stringent safety protocols to prevent accidental exposure and ensure biosecurity. However, ISO 35001’s general guidelines need to be adapted to meet the specific demands of BSL-3 environments. Example: Risk Assessment Requirements ISO 35001:2019, Section 6.1.2, mandates that organizations conduct a risk assessment to identify and evaluate risks associated with biological agents. However, it does not specify the methodology—whether a 3×3 or 5×5 matrix should be used or if the assessment should be activity-based or agent-based. The approach to risk assessment can vary widely across countries and organizations, with some methods proving more effective than others. To align with best practices, organizations should consider industry standards, consult with experts, and continuously review and refine their risk assessment processes. Example: Maintenance of Facilities and Equipment ISO 35001:2019, Section 7.1.2, requires the maintenance of facilities and equipment to prevent failures and accidents. In BSL-3 environments, this involves specific engineering controls, such as inward-directed airflow and certified biological safety cabinets (BSCs). Mechanical failures, such as airflow reversals, can create hazardous conditions. Therefore, regular certification and proper maintenance of BSCs and HEPA filters are crucial. Example: Emergency Response Procedures ISO 35001:2019, Section 8.2.1, mandates the establishment of procedures to respond to emergencies involving biological agents. For BSL-3 facilities, this includes detailed protocols for spill response, training personnel in using personal protective equipment (PPE), and effective decontamination methods. Thorough documentation of incidents and corrective actions ensures ongoing compliance and preparedness. Certifying to the ISO 35001 Standard Certification to ISO 35001 signifies a commitment to global biorisk management standards. This involves integrating the standard’s components with various publications, including legislation, standards, and guidelines. The rigor of certification requirements varies, with BSL-3 facilities facing more stringent demands. The expertise of the auditing firm is crucial in this process.

Outsourcing Training for Work in Critical Environments

When managing a high-containment facility, such as a BSL-3 lab, safety is paramount. Training staff to handle biological hazards properly and operate within stringent protocols can literally be a matter of life and death. A critical question many organizations face is whether to develop training programs in-house or outsource this training to a specialized provider. We’ll explore barriers to in-house development and delivery of quality training and why outsourcing your training for high-consequence workplaces could be the best option for your organization. What are your barriers to faster learning design and development? A recent survey conducted by the Association for Talent Development (ATD), which has supported instructional developers of employee training programs worldwide for over 80 years, identified eight top barriers to faster learning design and development.[1] The top three barriers are: Adapted from DeFelice, R. 2021. ATD Blog. Rounding out the top eight barriers include lack of availability of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) or stakeholders at 37%. In our experience, SMEs and stakeholders have many hats they wear, and their time is limited. Often, SMEs are outside of the organization and pose an additional expense to the development of in-house training, initially and annual updates to the curriculum. World BioHazTec uses the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) approach to instructional design. SAM is a three-phase process: Preparation Phase, Iterative Design Phase, and Iterative Development Phase.[2] SMEs and stakeholders are brought in at the initial outlining phase and then only as needed for review. Because this is an iterative process, by the time the final phase is reached, SMEs and stakeholders have agreed to the plans and there should be very few revisions, or scope creep, to the design and plans. This saves time for these busy professionals and reduces costs by managing time and scope. Limited learning infrastructure—such as access to dedicated systems, authoring tools, and networks—accounts for 35% of the barriers. Authoring tools and resources, such as licensed images, add to the expense. Additionally, online self-paced (asynchronous) learning modules require authoring tools to create interactive content with feedback, as well as a learning management system to deliver the modules effectively. The final three barriers are a lack of learning and development skills within the talent development team (25%), lack of accountability (when the talent development team or SMEs do not fulfill responsibilities or meet deadlines) (23%), and insufficient leadership or management support (19%). These barriers indicate that staff are often occupied with other duties, with training development frequently becoming a lower priority. How much extra time does your staff have? Developing in-house training programs takes time—far more than many organizations realize. According to ATD in its most recent survey, creating one hour of new classroom training can take anywhere from 112 to 367 hours to develop.[3] That means developing just a half-day session could consume weeks of work by several employees. Time that could be better spent on other critical functions of your lab. Also, think of the breadth of knowledge and skills required to operate and maintain a high-containment laboratory, both for inside and outside, from construction to cybersecurity, from environmental protection to personal safety. Biosafety professionals not only require training in performing their jobs safely, they are also involved in risk assessments and compliance with applicable regulations daily, and appropriate emergency response. Frequently, the biosafety professional is called upon to participate in the planning, design, and validation of a new biocontainment laboratory or renovation of an existing facility. “Biosafety professionals should have a foundation in all aspects of working in and around a high-containment laboratory and develop skills to ask questions in specific terms and have the confidence to question the answers.” -World BioHazTec Course Development Guide. [Internal Communication] Developing meaningful, high-quality training that addresses all necessary components typically requires more SMEs and stakeholders than a single facility may have available for training development. Outsourcing training development strengthens course quality by bringing together SMEs with various expertise for only the time that is necessary under the management of a proven training development team. Also, the development team can use resources already developed to tailor to the specific needs of your facility and staff, which saves time and resources. If you’re thinking of transitioning your existing training into an online format, the time investment can be even greater. Converting a course into effective web-based training requires expertise in instructional design, an investment in e-learning tools, an understanding of e-learning platforms, and the ability to ensure that virtual training still delivers the same level of engagement and effectiveness as in-person sessions. Just as with any training, online training and learning management systems must be monitored regularly and reports generated to stakeholders. Outsourcing this process to specialists not only saves your team countless hours but also ensures the training is designed by professionals with experience in biosafety, biosecurity, and online learning. A Fresh Perspective and Unbiased Assessment One of the key benefits of outsourcing your BSL-3 training is gaining access to an external team of experts who can offer a fresh perspective. When organizations develop their own training programs, there’s often a risk of becoming too close to the material, potentially missing gaps or risks that an SME might spot, offering a fresh perspective. An external provider can objectively assess your current protocols, highlight potential areas for improvement, and suggest best practices based on up-to-date industry standards. “Things change quickly …, so job responsibilities must evolve. If companies evolve their strategy and expect employees to expand their skill sets, offering a team continuous learning will help prevent them from falling behind.” [2] In high-stakes environments like BSL-3 labs, where even minor oversights can have serious consequences, having an unbiased third-party review can add an additional layer of safety. Expert consultants are experienced in tailoring their training programs to meet both your specific operational needs and strict regulatory requirements, ensuring your staff is fully equipped to handle emergencies and day-to-day challenges. CEUs and Professional Development Incentives Professional development is also a tool for employee retention. “About 80 percent of employees rank professional development and continuous learning as high priorities when job hunting. And 94 percent of employees say if an employer invested more in learning and development, they would stay longer at an organization.” [3] Another significant advantage of outsourcing BSL-3 training is the ability to offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs). If your training provider is accredited, they can award CEUs to participants which can be used to maintain certification with professional organizations. This ensures your team remains compliant with the latest industry developments and ongoing certification requirements. It also provides an added incentive for staff to engage in the training. CEUs enhance the perceived value of the training, as they provide tangible career benefits to employees. By outsourcing, you can integrate this offering into your program without the burden of navigating the lengthy accreditation process yourself. Outsourcing Offers Expertise, Efficiency, and Compliance The decision to outsource BSL-3 training boils down to efficiency and safety. By partnering with an experienced external provider, you’re investing in expert insights, saving substantial time, and ensuring your team has access to accredited, top-tier training. Not only does this free up your internal resources, but it also offers peace of mind knowing your staff is receiving the most current and comprehensive training available.

Five Design Considerations for Animal Laboratories

At the beginning of the design process, there are many decisions that must be made regarding equipment, sinks, showers, biological safety cabinets (BSCs), and other primary barrier equipment, the configuration of the HVAC system, and contingencies based upon the facility design elements required by the agents that will be worked with or studied. Sustainability, maintainability, and energy usage must also be factored into the design. Organizational preferred operations must be included, and SOPs often dictate final designs. Spatial relationships need to be evaluated to determine flow and function. When animals are part of the laboratory work, additional design features are needed which add complexity to the design. 1. Design Standards, Guidelines, and Regulations for Animal Laboratories Paramount to safety is the understanding of the application and intent of biosafety and biocontainment guidelines. Biosafety design is based upon risk assessment. The design team should be accustomed to working with the Biosafety Officer, users, and stakeholders in formulating and documenting risk assessments when needed to support design decision-making. Determining your research goals or planned laboratory work, grant design requirements, and regulatory compliance will drive the design criteria. When designing an animal facility such as an ABSL-2 or ABSL-3 laboratory, beyond the compulsory local national and international guidance documents, you may want to also consider the following guidelines and standards: NIH Design Requirements Manual for Biocontainment Laboratories; U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Research Service Guidelines, (as applicable); Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC); National Research Council Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals; National Research Council Occupational Health and Safety in the Care and Use of Research Animals; and National Research Council Occupational Health and Safety in the Care and Use of Nonhuman Primates. 2. Odor The management of odor from animal facilities, autoclaving, waste treatment, and tissue digesters is unique to containment facilities. Elevator shafts and loading docks serve as pathways for the distribution of odors. Using positive pressured elevator vestibules, adjoining positive pressured corridors, and local ventilation can contain odors. Dedicating an elevator for vertical movement of animals from receiving to the animal suite will also control odors. Adding a pneumatic waste removal system can contain waste removal odors from the animal suite to the building loading dock area. These engineering controls allow for the placement of vivariums anywhere vertically in a research tower instead of the traditional basement location. 3. Noise Subjecting animals to noise and vibration can have significant impact on animal reproduction and sensory development, behavior, and can expose animals to injury startle responses. The location of rotating machinery in animal facilities can stress animals, so cage washing areas and mechanical spaces with fans and pumps need to be distanced from animal holding areas. Another source of noise is the ventilation system with elevated room level supply and exhaust noise. In addition to negatively affecting animals, this can also affect workers’ communication and awareness to their surroundings. 4. Space Requirements Caging design, rack sizes and types, and animal model are key factors in analyzing space requirements. Identifying the maximum number of types of animals to be housed according to biosafety level can maximize space utilization for the present and the future. This information bears heavily on the design approach to room space allocation, cage washing equipment, whether disposable caging is more economical, cage changing stations or BSCs, and watering system versus bottle caging. 5. Emergency Signaling Systems Placement of emergency signaling systems (e.g., fire alarm, HVAC failure alarm, room pressurization alarm, security alarm) is essential to alert personnel to act. Signaling systems must be accessible for lab personnel, biosafety officers, and emergency response personnel. Ever conscious of animals, the alarms cannot be strobing in holding facilities so as not to stress animals. Animal Laboratory Design Recommendations In analyzing the final design, emphasis needs to be placed on the details. Constant referral to the research program requirements, containment guidelines, lessons learned, project construction and operating budgets, and the completeness of the design documents are essential to a successful design that meets the users’ and the stakeholders’ needs and provides sustainability. Efforts spent in design by an integrated team of users, professionals, and stakeholders will culminate in a safe, sustainable, efficient, and secure research facility.
