c. Target Audience Statement: This program is specifically designed for any person who prepares and ships laboratory specimens. This includes federal or military personnel, clinicians, clerical and other support staff who are involved in the preparation, packaging and labeling of specimens. These individuals must watch this program before December 31, 2006. While this program is for Alabama health professionals, anyone interested in DOT and IATA regulations may view this program.
d. Program Description: This program is designed for those persons in Alabama’s county health departments who are responsible for packaging and shipping clinical laboratory specimens to the Alabama State Laboratories through the courier system.
Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) and International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations require that any person who packages and ships these types of specimens must be trained in awareness of the regulations. Many changes to these regulations occurred in 2005 and this program will outline these changes and cover how they affect county personnel who package and ship specimens. If packaging and shipping falls within an employee’s duties, the employee must have documentation of awareness training for these regulations.
e. Program Objectives:
1. Classify, mark and label UN 3373 Biological Substances properly for transport to the State Lab in the Alabama County Health Department courier system.
2. Outline DOT training requirements for packaging and shipping UN 3373 Biological Substances.
3. Outline the responsibilities of the shipper and the shipper’s employer regarding training, record keeping, and the handling of specimens.
