BSL-3 Laboratory Practices in the United States: Comparison of Select Agent and Non–Select Agent Facilities
Biosecurity and Bioterrorism-biodefense Strategy Practice and Science, 2014Co-Authors: Stephanie L. Richards, Victoria C. Pompei, Alice L. AndersonAbstract:New construction of biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) laboratories in the United States has increased in the past decade to facilitate research on potential bioterrorism agents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention inspect BSL-3 facilities and review Commissioning Documentation, but no single agency has oversight over all BSL-3 facilities. This article explores the extent to which standard operating procedures in US BSL-3 facilities vary between laboratories with select agent or non–select agent status. Comparisons are made for the following variables: personnel training, decontamination, personal protective equipment (PPE), medical surveillance, security access, laboratory structure and maintenance, funding, and pest management. Facilities working with select agents had more complex training programs and decontamination procedures than non–select agent facilities. Personnel working in select agent laboratories were likely to use powered air purifying respirators, while non–select agent laboratories pri...

BIM-Enabled Building Commissioning and Handover
Computing in Civil Engineering, 2012Co-Authors: Wei Wu, Raja R. A. IssaAbstract:Building Commissioning is one of the most effective means to ensure the building systems and equipment will perform as designed in its lifecycle when handed over for operation. Current practice of Commissioning is labor intensive and the Commissioning deliverables are heavily 2-D documents and images that are inefficient and ineffective to utilize in operation and maintenance of the building. The research thus looked at BIM as a facilitator for a more viable approach for building Commissioning. Per its definition, BIM is a lifecycle information repository of a construction project. With a project delivery embedded Commissioning scenario, this BIM-enabled Commissioning facilitated the Commissioning process at each phase of the project lifecycle by accomplishing critical Commissioning tasks, empowering enhanced project team collaboration and streamlining Commissioning Documentation generation. Two case studies were given at the end to demonstrate the best practices in the industry that used BIM for building Commissioning and handover.
