It is recommended that a Biohazard Spill Kit be available in each area where there is potential for spills/releases of a biohazardous nature. Commercially prepared Kits may be purchased through safety supply vendors or the individual laboratories may put together their own kits.

These kits should include, but are not limited to, such items as:

• Suitable disposable surgical gloves (double thickness suggested)
• Disinfectant spray (commercially produced or 10% bleach solution mixed daily)
• Sharps container (for contaminated broken glass or needles)
• Biohazard/Autoclave bags
• Tongs for handling broken glass (should be autoclavable or disposable)
• Dust pan/brush (should be autoclavable or disposable)
• Paper toweling or disposable absorbent material

This kit may be stored where chemical spill kits are located or where first aid kits are stored.
