Biological Safety
Biological Safety is responsible for providing guidance on practices to minimize health and environmental hazards related to biological agents used in research and teaching within the university community. Programs implementing university policy and recognized best practices have been established to protect the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff; to protect managed and natural ecosystems; and to meet regulatory requirements of Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and the National Institutes of Health. Biological Safety supports the Institutional Biosafety Committee, the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, and the Institutional Review Board as appropriate. Programs have been established to provide a central registry of potentially hazardous microbial agents and other hazardous biologicals, oversight of recombinant DNA activities, and control exposures to bloodborne pathogens and zoonotic agents of human disease.
