This adran has no associated Memorandwm Esboniadol

20.—(1) For ships containing laboratories or rooms for laboratory animals that have been deliberately infected with group 2, group 3 or group 4 biological agents or which are, or are suspected to be, carriers of such agents the employer shall—

(a)for laboratories carrying out work which involves the handling of such agents for research, development, teaching or diagnostic purposes, determine the relevant containment measures in accordance with [F1Annex 5 of Merchant Shipping Notice 1889 (M+F)] that are necessary to minimise the risk of infection;

(b)following a regulation 6 assessment and after fixing the physical containment level required for the biological agents according to the degree of risk, determine the relevant containment measures in accordance with [F2Annex 5 of Merchant Shipping Notice 1889 (M+F)];

(c)ensure that activities involving the handling of such agents are carried out in working areas that correspond at least to the containment levels relevant to each such group of agents indicated in [F3Annex 5 of Merchant Shipping Notice 1889 (M+F)]; and

(d)for laboratories handling materials in respect of which there exist uncertainties about the presence of biological agents which may cause human disease but which do not have as their aim working with biological agents as such—

(i)adopt at least containment level 2 as indicated in [F4Annex 5 of Merchant Shipping Notice 1889 (M+F)]; and

(ii)use containment levels 3 or 4 as indicated in [F5Annex 5 of Merchant Shipping Notice 1889 (M+F)], when appropriate, where it is known or it is suspected that they are necessary.

(2) For industrial processes using group 2, group 3 or group 4 biological agents the employer shall apply the containment principles in paragraph (1)(c) on the basis of the practical measures and appropriate procedures indicated in [F6Schedule 3, Part 3 to the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002].

(3) An employer shall not cause or permit the industrial use of group 2, group 3 or group 4 biological agents otherwise than in accordance with the written approval of the Secretary of State and any conditions subject to which such approval is given.

(4) For activities described in paragraphs (1) to (3) where it has not been possible to carry out a conclusive assessment of a biological agent but concerning which it appears that the use envisaged might involve a serious health risk for workers, the employer shall ensure that those activities are carried out in workplaces where the containment level corresponds at least to level 3 as indicated in [F7Annex 5 of Merchant Shipping Notice 1889 (M+F)].

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
