Forum 230 Decommissioning
of Laboratories
Arranger and Moderator: E. Gross, Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute, Boston, MA.
Academic and industrial laboratories use a variety of
hazardous materials on a daily basis. Staff are trained to handle them in the safest
possible manner. This includes the use of engineering controls (chemical fume hoods,
biological safety cabinets, enclosures, etc.), good spill clean-up procedures, and
appropriate personal protective equipment. Due to the fast pace of research, with rapidly
changing technology, practices or investigators, individual laboratories may undergo
renovations, or entire buildings may be demolished to make way for improved facilities. It
is at this point that decommissioning of the laboratories needs to take place, to ensure
that the renovations or demolition do not release previously used hazardous materials into
the environment, thus presenting new problems to the maintenance and construction staff
doing the work. This forum will present the best practices and lessons learned from two
large and one medium-sized academic laboratory facilities, in the hopes of offering useful
information to facilities who might be faced with similar projects, as well as generating
an interesting discussion of issues raised.
