Safe Biological Work Practices

All work with biological materials must be done in accordance with local, state and federal regulations and guidelines to ensure these materials are handled appropriately. Safe biological research includes appropriate facilities and equipment, adequate training, proper laboratory practices and safe working conditions. Biological safety helps protect the campus community of students, faculty, staff and visitors. It also helps maintain the University's academic excellence and integrity. Good biological safety practices protect the environment from release of potentially harmful agents.

EHS provides resources to help guide the proper use, storage, handling, and disposal of biological materials.
