Board reviews lab specimen transport protocol; staff to collect signatories
Summary
Staff reviewed a lab specimen transport protocol (CBAT/DWS kits) describing sample collection, packaging, and courier options and asked several board members to sign the checklist for proper handling and chain of custody.
Board staff reviewed a new lab specimen transport protocol that details how to package, label and ship biological or chemical samples, including use of state courier services or commercial carriers when appropriate. The presenter explained where the CBAT/DWS kits are stored and said the protocol includes contact numbers for labs, epidemiology and shipping services.
Staff asked specific board members to sign the procedural checklist at the meeting. The county will retain the signed checklist as part of emergency‑response documentation; no formal vote was needed, but staff requested signatures from identified signatories after the meeting.
