Communications Task Force Update Action Items from 5 th Meeting Tracking Safety Training Central Database for all Research Personnel w/reqd Training now under development (Research Personnel Database RPD) Research personnel survey to review all personal data and ID training needs top level questions completed, detailed ones under development (e.g., work with animals? which types.) Purchase ID badge scanner for recording training attendance Will pilot with Rad Safety Training and at a Research Council meeting Hazardous chemical purchases notification system to forward SOP s Electronic list of purchases generated weekly by Materials Management We will develop a process to notify PI s and send information to a database to track who has hazardous materials and supply generic SOP s to be customized Met with Lab Survey Team Will develop portable survey tool and database Formalize documentation of issues, resolution, feedback

Status and Updates from Task Forces

Status and Updates from Task Forces MGH Research Safety Committee Lab Survey Task Force Update Michael Fisher, Director, RSMG

Laboratory Safety Surveys Update The Task Force s charge is to develop and implement an ongoing laboratory safety surveillance process in collaboration with the various departments, laboratories, and principal investigators. The ultimate goal is to assist principal investigators in identifying and mitigating unsafe conditions in their laboratories.

Laboratory Safety Surveys Update Each laboratory at MGH will be surveyed annually. The survey team will consist of: RSMG Operations Manager Representatives from B&G Environmental Services Police and Security Environmental Health and Safety Two lab managers at large Lab manager from the laboratory being surveyed Departmental Safety delegate

Laboratory Safety Surveys Update Pre survey worksheet For use by laboratory in preparation for survey visit Two weeks prior to visit Survey instrument Web based application for use by survey team Survey results Prepared by survey team within two weeks Distributed to departmental safety coordinator, principal investigator, and laboratory manager On line response detailing mitigation plan and completed items Follow-up approximately 3 months by RSMG representative

Laboratory Safety Surveys Update Pre-survey Work Sheet Survey Schedules Follow-up Reports CENTRAL DATABASE APPLICATION Trend Reports iphone, ipad, etc. for use by survey team Survey Reports

Training Objectives What do we intend to accomplish? This training will show you how to This training will teach you about This training will provide

Training Objectives Hypothetical: Controlled Substances Use in Nonhuman Research What do we intend to accomplish? This training will explain how to comply with the law and obtain the appropriate registrations (licenses), order controlled substances from established distributors, and maintain secure storage and accurate inventory of controlled substances.

Policy Statement in Laymen s Terms Why is this training required? You must do X because Y NIH/OSHA/etc requires X because Y Its important to learn X because Y For additional information: The MGH/Partners policy can be found here The Federal/State law or regulation can be found here

Policy Statement in Laymen s Terms Hypothetical: Controlled Substances Use in Nonhuman Research Why is this training required? State and federal law requires specific Research Registrations in order to purchase and use controlled substances for nonhuman research. For additional information: The MGH policy can be found at http://library.partners.org/mgh1/trove.asp?fi=research+co mpliance&di=non- Human+Research+Controlled+Substances+Policy+%26+Proced ure&hu=emptyurl

What does this mean for me? What do I have to do?

What does this mean for me? Hypothetical: Controlled Substances Use in Nonhuman Research What do I have to do? Researchers must apply for the appropriate licenses, ensure that all drugs are securely stored, and determine who in the lab should have access. Drugs can be ordered from McKesson Pharmaceutical, and veterinary drugs can be ordered through Patterson (Webster) or Butler-Schein.

How do I implement What are the steps to implement this training?

How do I implement Hypothetical: Controlled Substances Use in Nonhuman Research Step 1: confirm that your drug storage meets the legal requirements, which are x, y, and z Step 2: apply for your state and federal research registrations for controlled substances, if you do not already have them. State application can be located http://www.mass.gov/eohhs/docs/dph/quality/drugcontrol/appresearcher.pdf Federal application can be located https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/webforms/jsp/regapps/commo n/newapplogin.jsp If a state or federal agent would like to interview you or visit your lab, contact Research Compliance immediately

Best Practices Always do X Never do Y It s a good idea to do Z

Best Practices Hypothetical: Controlled Substances Use in Nonhuman Research Always maintain an accurate inventory of controlled substances in your drug safe. Never store items other than controlled substances and the inventory log in your drug safe. It s a good idea to schedule a reminder to renew your license every year.
