Biohazard handling. All sample handling and disposal procedures should be performed in compliance with the guidelines of the institutional Environmental Health and Safety Office. Gloves should be worn when handling the samples. Discard tips, pipettes, and tubes into a radioactive waste bag, or an autoclavable biohazard bag. 

Is There a Professional Certification for Sustainability Auditors There currently is no accredited, professional certification scheme specific to sustainability auditors. In the United States, the Board of Environmental, Health and Safety Auditor Certifications (BEAC)31 offers a Management Systems Certified Professional Environmental Auditor (CPEA) certification. This certification is not specific to sustainability, but does include the GRI Sustainability Reporting Guidelines in its exam for the Management Systems CPEA certification (BEAC, 2004).

The subject of health and safety is reported in all under five parameters - fatalities (43%), lost time accidents (86%), occupational illnesses (51%), transport incidents (49%) and emergency preparedness (63%). This suggests a fair coverage of health and safety is building in chemicals CERs, which no doubt has been assisted by the inclusion of this aspect in the CEFIC environmental reporting guidelines. 

However, it is now felt by the CEFIC and its members that there is a need to communicate the achievements of the whole of the chemicals industry at national and European level. As a result, in November 1998, new sets of health, safety and environmental reporting guidelines were issued. These offer a common reporting framework for both national chemical industry federations and individual chemicals companies, bringing in health and safety for the first time. 

Policy Herberts has ten guidelines that help define the company culture, and the corporate policy on environmental protection, health and safety provides rules of conduct in the area of ecology.
