11-5C   REGISTRATION OF LABORATORIES.
11-5C.1   Purpose.
   As a commonwealth, regional, national and international medical, educational and commercial center, the city is home to over 5,000 laboratories advancing cutting edge technologies and techniques that seek to benefit the residents of the city, the residents of the commonwealth and the United States and the population of the world. In this pursuit, however, many laboratories utilize or generate radioactive, infectious, toxic, hazardous or noxious substances, chemicals or conditions. These substances, chemicals or conditions have the latent and actual capacity to inflict grave harm upon people ill-equipped to manage their harmful conditions in the event of a public health or public safety emergency. The primary responders (for example, BFD, BPD and/or EMS) do not currently have information that may prove critical to their emergency response—they do not know where all of the laboratories are located in the city and they do not know what is contained within these laboratories. These Sections, by requiring registration of laboratories and inspections of laboratories, will, once fully implemented, ensure that the public safety and public health personnel have the information that they need to adequately, effectively and safely respond to any emergencies occurring within laboratories in order to protect the welfare of the laboratory, the neighborhood and the greater population.
(CBC 1985 11-5C.1;Ord. 2006 c. 4)
