1. Purpose

- The purpose here is to highlight the role that a BSO plays in maintaining and implementing the rules and guidelines laid out in the SOPs and associated documentation, including the government regulations on the use, disposal and containment of chemicals, biological organisms and waste.

2. Scope

- All users of the LBL BioLab facility need to be aware of the BSO's role and be able to locate and communicate with the BSO should any queries regarding safe and correct lab usage arise.

3. Responsibilities

- It is the BSO's responsibility to carry out the roles outlined in this document and the BioLab user's responsibility to conform to the best practice as described within the SOPs and associated documentation and to follow any advice that the BSO gives where it pertains to safe and correct usage of the laboratory facility.

4. Materials

- Are there any extra materials required, in the case of operating an instrument, peice of equipment or in a molecular biology procedure this might be consumables, reagents, chemicals or other instrumentation, e.g pipets. Any special PPE can be mentioned here.

5. Related documents

- Are other SOPs (or other documents within our framework) related to this procedure. If so then listing them here can be useful, for example the media prep SOP might be relevant when carrying out the transformation procedures and it saves time to link it here rather than describe the preparation of media in every procedure where it is used (bit like an include/import/use lol).

6. Definitions

e.g: SOP = Standard Operating Procedure

7. Procedures

       7.1.1 They can be embeded/indented as much as is reasonably helpful to describe the procedure step by step

- 7.2 It should be written in such a way that it would help anyone new to the lab to perform the procedure without having prior expertise.

8. Resources

- This is where eternal useful documention can be linked, much like the references section in any academic paper.

 '''3. Responsibilities'''
-**  for who is the procedure relevant, typically the operator and anyone present while it's carried out, it's also worth mentioning the risks here and that the operator is responsible for their health and safety and that of anyone else present during the procedure.
