Important factors to consider for venue selection

If you choose to host your event outside of a Science Care facility, it’s critical you thoroughly vet the facility prior to booking. This protects you, your clients, our donors, and the industry. Any facility not clearly established for medical training events has to be approved by the Science Care management team prior to the shipment of any specimens. When working to identify options, you may consider the following:

Security Measures

• Is the tissue and the lab in a place where there is no risk of public access?
• For any specimens that needs to be maintained overnight, is secure storage available?
• Are there any windows which can be viewed through the outside by the public and if so, are they draped?
• Is there proper security at the door of the event facility to ensure only attendees are allowed access to the event area?
  

Risk Mitigation

• Who will be providing PPE’s?
• Is final disposition coordinated and is there a vendor engaged that can recover the specimens and transport to the final disposition destination?
• How will you coordinate the proper disposal of all bio-waste materials after the lab?
• How will the tables and floors be covered to ensure there is no contamination?
• Who will be on-site to accept the specimens?
• Who will be packaging the specimens (following the lab) for shipment and / or cremation?
• Will irrigation capabilities will be sufficient for designated use, if applicable?
• Proper signage should be posted at entrances/exits to alert attendees of the following: No photos or videos except as specifically authorized by SC in writing; Radiation risk signs id any type of equipment with radiation is being used; PPE requirements; no food or drink allowed in or around the lab space
