Biosafety

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. The university's Biosafety program is established to protect individuals from exposure to biohazards through the application of administrative and engineering controls.
