Waste disposal

• LagLivLab follows procedure for waste disposal as IBV.

• In addition, is every SOP listed here which describe the waste disposal routine relative to that specific standard procedure.

• Read this waste disposal information (PDF in Norwegian).

• Yellow waste bins is stored in UK floor close to the waste containers place. At the entrance of the loading place, there is a wood door with lock. We need borrow the key from Runar Staveli, he is in the chemistry store (return the key right away after storing the yellow waste bins). Take several empty yellow bins at the same room where to store the yellow waste store bins.

LagLivLab will follow the same procedures for biological waste disposal as IBV

In addition, every standard operating prosedure (SOP) listed here describes the waste disposal routine relative to that specific standard procedure.
