Biological Safety Program:
The Biological Safety Program provides for the review of the University's teaching projects, research activities and facilities involving the acquisition, use, storage and disposal of biohazardous agents. The program provides the University's assurance of compliance with applicable institutional policies, National Institute of Health Guidelines, and state regulations regarding the use of infectious agents and toxin-producing agents that have the potential for causing disease in healthy individuals, animals or plants.
Biohazardous Agents
Biohazards are biological agents or substances present in the work environment that may present a hazard to the health and well-being of the worker and the campus community. Biological agents include infectious and parasitic agents, noninfectious microorganisms (fungi, yeast, algae), plants and animals that cause occupational disease.
