Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution?


We are ruled by the following regulations according to the biological context in our country:

  1. Ley de Bioseguridad de Organismos Genéticamente Modificados (Biosafety Law for Genetically Modified Organisms.) http://www.diputados.gob.mx/LeyesBiblio/pdf/LBOGM.pdf
  2. Reglamento de la Ley General para la Prevención y Gestión Integral de los Residuos. (General Law for Residues Prevention and Comprehensive Management's Guideline.) http://www.diputados.gob.mx/LeyesBiblio/regley/Reg_LGPGIR.pdf
  3. Ley General del Equilibrio Ecológico y la Protección al Ambiente (General Law for Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection.) http://www.diputados.gob.mx/LeyesBiblio/pdf/148.pdf
  4. Guía sobre la reglamentación relativa al Trasporte de sustancias infecciosas. (Guidance on regulations for the transport of infectious substances.) http://www.who.int/csr/resources/publications/biosafety/WHO_HSE_EPR_2008_10_ES.pdf
  5. Guía de evaluación de riesgos microbianos. (Guide microbial risk assessment.) http://www.epa.gov/raf/files/mra-guideline-july-final.pdf
  6. Manejo de Residuos Peligrosos Biológico-Infecciosos. (Biological and Infectious Hazardous Waste Management.) http://www.uv.mx/vincula/vin_social/solicitudes/documents/ManejoResiduosPeligrosos.pdf
  7. Manual sobre bioseguridad en el laboratorio, Organización mundial de la Salud. (Handbook of laboratory biosafety, World Health Organization.) http://www.who.int/csr/resources/publications/biosafety/Biosafety7.pdf
  8. NORMA Oficial Mexicana NOM-087-ECOL-SSA1-2002, Protección ambiental - Salud ambiental - Residuos peligrosos biológico-infecciosos - Clasificación y especificaciones de manejo. (Mexican Official Standard NOM-087-ECOL-SSA1-2002, Environmental Protection - Environmental Health - Hazardous biological and infectious waste - Classification and management specifications.) http://www.salud.gob.mx/unidades/cdi/nom/087ecolssa.html
  9. NORMA Oficial Mexicana NOM-017-STPS-2008, Equipo de protección personal-Selección, uso y manejo en los centros de trabajo. (Mexican Official Standard NOM-017-STPS-2008, Personal protection equipment - selection, use and management in the workplace.) http://salud.chiapas.gob.mx/doc/biblioteca_virtual/normas/NOM-017-STPS-2008.pdf

Our project is currently within the analysis of the biosafety committee at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León headed by Dr. Lydia G. Rivera Morales certified by the Mexican Association of Biosafety and Biosecurity (amexbio.org), and therefore we promise to post detailed comments later when we obtain them. Dr. Lydia, mentioned in advance to keep following biosafety precautions levels 1, 2 and materials properly disposed, finally commented in the recovery module by silica binding the consideration of biological locks in case of accidental releases.
