This revision of the Biosafety Manual was prepared under the auspices of the Administrative Panel on Biosafety (APB) by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) after careful review of pertinent federal and state government regulatory documents, along with reference guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health. This manual will:
- Address the most commonly asked questions from faculty, staff and students on general Biosafety, pathogens, and recombinant DNA (rDNA) or synthetic nucleic acid (sNA) issues;
- Provide information about training, safe work practices, safety equipment and personal protective equipment; and,
- Provide guidance for investigators who need to submit an application for review by the Administrative Panel on Biosafety.
