Achieving a positive safety culture is a team effort, involving the research community, university services, other organizations, as well as students. The mission of the Biosafety Section is consistent with the EH&S mission to provide useful tools and applications to aid faculty and staff in their efforts to maintain a safe and compliant workplace. The links from this page are designed to help workers safely manage biological agents or substances present in or arising from the work environment that present or may present a hazard to the health or well-being of the worker, university, community, or the environment.
