Aerosol Transmissible Diseases (ATD’s) Biosafety Plan

To comply with Cal-OSHA Title 8, Section 5199

https://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/5199.html

To the Principal Investigator:

This Biosafety Plan describes the procedures and measures to establish, implement and maintain an

effective program to minimize research laboratory employee exposure to Aerosol Transmitted

Pathogens – Laboratory (ATPs-L) as mandated by California Occupational Safety and Health

Standards board Title 8, section 5199. Consult Appendix D of the standard to determine the specific

pathogens covered under the standard, but note that virtually any human pathogen, including many

pathogens not normally considered likely to infect humans by aerosolization, could be covered under

the standard depending on the potential worker exposure to the pathogen. Some of the agents that are

covered under the ATD standard include all retroviruses, all arboviruses, Salmonella sp., Chlamydia

trachomatis, influenza viruses, Risk Group 2 Mycobacterium sp., and all microbial agents normally

handled at BSL3. Other agents are also covered if used in a manner or quantity that could result in

aerosolization of the agent. Replication defective viral vectors from other than commercial sources

may also be subject to this standard if aerosol exposure to laboratory or animal care staff could occur.

The Standard requires that each laboratory that works with any of the agents specified in Appendix D of

the Standard must develop a biosafety plan which must be reviewed and approved by one of the

individuals identified in (1b), below. The Biosafety Plan must include the required information in

sufficient detail to provide a useful training document for laboratory employees and students. The

information included in Item 4 below should be considered a minimum requirement to be expanded to

reflect actual risks and practices for your work site.

Completion and adoption of this document does not substitute for obtaining a Biological Use

Authorization (BUA) from the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) that authorizes the

possession, storage, transfer, and use of the biohazardous materials noted in this biosafety

plan. Further, completion and annual update of this biosafety plan is a prerequisite for securing

and maintaining IBC approval of your BUA. Where practicable, the information included in this

biosafety plan may duplicate information presented in your Biological Use Authorization, but you are

responsible for training your staff and students in both documents.
