1 1. Research Safety Organization [Return to Table of Contents] a) Research Safety Committee The MGH Research Safety Committee will provide leadership and support for the management of workplace safety and health and compliance with applicable environmental regulations within the MGH research community. Representatives from the research community and various support department managers will interact within this forum to develop and implement policies and guidelines, share information, assess risks, raise staff awareness through the safety education program, and otherwise act to minimize risk and assure compliance with pertinent laws, standards and best practices. i) Goal The MGH Research Safety Committee s goal is to oversee and guide a comprehensive program that recognizes and effectively manages research-related risks to worker safety and health, physical property and the external environment. ii) Objectives Maintain an active membership consisting of representatives from the research community and hospital support departments. Appoint subcommittees or ad hoc groups to address special issues and concerns as necessary. Develop, implement and maintain policies and procedures to ensure safety, health and environmental protection while complying with federal, state and local laws and industry best practices. Maintain communication between the committee and the research community, assuring that lab groups are informed about hazards and regulatory requirements. Assure provision of general and department-specific education, training and consultation. Provide oversight and support through safety audit activities, particularly of high risk areas and activities, responding promptly to issues to assure safety and compliance. Encourage incident reporting and review safety audit and incident data for trends and sentinel events to assure experience-based safety programming and to provide the information needed to guide performance improvement. Maintain liaison as needed with outside agencies at the local, state, and federal level. Strive for continual program improvement. Issue regular reports on program status to the MGH Safety Committee. b) Support Department Responsibilities [Return to Table of Contents] i) Research Compliance Shares committee leadership. Assists in keeping the committee apprised of pertinent compliance and regulatory driven initiatives related to safety, health and environmental management. Contributes actively to all policy and training development.
2 Assists in disseminating information to the research community. Assists in identifying, planning and implementing committee initiatives, including but not limited to identifying non-compliant areas. Supports performance and process improvement activities. ii) Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) Shares committee leadership. Supports and assists in coordinating an effective and comprehensive research safety management program. Supports development and implementation of general and lab-specific safety, health and environmental protection policies and practices. Provides technical support and consults on hazard-specific issues. Participates in hazard surveillance activities, particularly focusing on fire safety, chemical safety and hygiene, hazardous waste disposal and environmental protection. Acts as a liaison between regulatory agencies and the research community. Implements training programs covering its areas of technical responsibility for all research laboratory personnel. Collects and analyzes incident data to support program assessment and improvement. iii) Biosafety The MGH Biosafety Office (a division of MGH EH&S) provides oversight for research involving recombinant and synthetic nucleic acids, infectious agents, potentially infectious human and non-human materials and certain select agent toxins used in exempt amounts. The Biosafety Manager is a member of the Partner s Institutional Biosafety Committee - PIBC, and manages a program that assures that all protocols involving biological agents of interest to the PIBC receive proper committee review and risk assessment and that committee prescribed controls are fully and consistently implemented within respective research operations. iv) Research Space Management Group (RSMG) Is responsible to the Executive Committee on Research (ECOR) for all aspects of research space allocation, configuration and management. Manages the committee concerned with all policies, procedures, processes and initiatives related to research building emergency evacuation. Educates Principal Investigators (PIs) and their designated representatives regarding evacuation policy, the research Emergency Notification System (ENS) and lab-specific evacuation planning. Collects and maintains PI and alternate lab contact information for use with the research ENS. Coordinates and supports the laboratory surveillance program throughout the research community, including corrective actions as necessary.
3 v) Radiation Safety Led by the MGH Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), the Radiation Safety Office ensures the safe use of radioactive materials and machine-produced sources of ionizing radiation. Administers MGH s Radioactive Materials License and Radioisotope Use Permits in conjunction with the Radiation Safety Committee. Implements policies and procedures for safe use of radioactive material and investigates any deviation from approved radiation safety practice. Provides training and exposure monitoring for radioactivity users and ancillary staff to keep exposures as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). Monitors and actively works to minimize the environmental impact of radiation use, both inside and outside of the hospital. May suspend radioactive material use in cases of significant non-compliance with policies and regulations or in cases presenting a clear and present danger. vi) Occupational Health (OHS) The Occupational Health Service (OHS) provides occupational health care to the Partners HealthCare System workforce and promotes and supports the protection of employee health and safety in the work environment. The health care provided focuses on prevention and treatment of medical conditions associated with the work environment and/or job duties. Examples of occupational health care include TB testing after exposure to TB, evaluation and treatment of back pain after lifting, and treatment after experiencing a needlestick. The care provided by OHS does not include primary and episodic health care unrelated to an employee s job-related activities. OHS services include: pre-placement and return to work clearances immunizations and TB testing medical evaluation for respirator use evaluation and treatment of work-related injuries and exposures work site evaluations fitness for duty assessments work accommodation assessments vii) Police and Security (P&S) The purpose of the MGH Research Security Program is to protect people and assets from criminal activity and workplace violence. This program seeks to proactively identify trends and patterns of general and high security risks and develop, implement and maintain effective safeguards. While it is the primary goal of Police and Security to provide a safe and secure environment, they cannot do it alone. Providing a safe workplace for staff and visitors is a shared responsibility with all who work at MGH. Employees are advised to remain aware of their surroundings and report suspicious or inappropriate activity to the Police and Security Department. Employees are also advised to immediately report theft, threats, harassment, potential physical violence, disturbances, accidents (with or without injury), bomb threat, or an inappropriate or disruptive individual as soon as possible. c) Research Community Safety Responsibilities [Return to Table of Contents]
4 i) Department/Unit Chiefs Accept ultimate responsibility for implementing and enforcing safety, health and environmental requirements applicable to your laboratory operations. Either directly or through a designee, determine the best approach to safety coverage for the department. Use the safety coordinator roles described in sections c) iii through c) v below as sufficient for your department s structure and needs. Note: In recognition of the significant variability among departments research operations, this section is intended to provide maximum flexibility in organizing safety coverage within a department. Through the safety coordinator positions described below, the intent is to have each department represented on the Research Safety Committee while providing capable safety oversight and support throughout all research laboratories and associated spaces at all MGH research sites. Departments may utilize PIs, management staff or other appropriately experienced personnel to fill their safety coordinator roles and may even combine roles for assignment to one individual, depending on their circumstances. The endpoint in assigning safety coordinators is to assure adequate coverage for all sites where the department operates and to provide sufficient coverage for each individual laboratory at each site. Assure compliance with relevant safety, health and environmental protection requirements by all personnel. Assure each individual s completion of annual training requirements. (The time of an employee s performance evaluation is a good time to complete such a review.)
