Lab HVAC Performance Assessment And Remediation
World BioHazTec
Airflow reversals and other HVAC challenges can delay your work. World BioHazTec understands the components to ensure a properly working HVAC system. Our dedicated professionals are able to identify the issues and provide solutions. To ensure proper airflow dynamics, World BioHazTec evaluates the HVAC system and conducts a site facility diagnostic test to pinpoint issues. Following the site visit, World BioHazTec will provide a Report of Findings that provides recommendations to resolve lab ventilation issues. The laboratory's ventilation system can be complex and problematic. World BioHazTec’s engineers have worked with hundreds of critical environments including cleanrooms, high containment laboratories, maximum containment laboratories, chemistry laboratories, insectaries, isolation wards and surgical suites. We have evaluated designs both on paper and onsite and have recommended solutions that will make your HVAC system perform appropriately and in compliance with guidelines and regulations.

Lab Waste Equipment Validation
World BioHazTec
World BioHazTec develops validation protocols and performs hands-on testing of equipment to ensure adequate sterilization of waste prior to removal from your facility. Our validation capabilities include:
Autoclaves
Decontamination Chambers
Effluent Decontamination Systems
Tissue Digesters.
Why Should I Validate My Lab Waste Equipment?
Exposure to biological materials needs to be mitigated from start to finish. Contaminated waste from your laboratory needs to be treated prior to its removal. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), 6th Edition notes that an appropriate decontamination program should be developed and implemented with the decontamination processes being verified on a routine basis. Additionally, section 12(a)(3) of the Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP) regulations describes the need for a written procedure for all validated methods used for disinfection, decontamination, or destruction of contaminated or presumptively contaminated materials.
World BioHazTec takes the burden off of you to validate your equipment that decontaminates lab waste. Our documented protocols are site-specific for your facility. We come onsite to independently determine that the equipment complies with specific standards for safety, quality and performance. All results are documented in a detailed report.
