Biosafety

The university through the Institutional Biosafety Committee reviews and authorizes research with rDNA and certain biological materials. EHS also reviews this research and assists by inspecting laboratories for compliance with the CDC/NIH BioSafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) and the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules (NIH Guidelines). Biosafety training (OH207) is conducted on a regular basis.

EHS also manages a biological waste disposal program. If you need supplies for biological waste or need your waste picked up see the Request for Disposal of Biological Waste and Sharps form (PDF).

For additional information on the authorization of rDNA and Infectious Agents/Toxins Studies see the Office of Research Support and Compliance.
