Overview

• The Biosafety program provides services to support research with human, non-human primate and other bloodborne pathogen materials as covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard that may contain potentially infectious pathogens (HIV, HBV, HCV or other). 
• Bloodborne pathogen material(s) include: human and non-human primate materials (blood, cells, tissues, fluids, and secretions that are potentially infectious). 
• Principal investigator(s) and research area(s) involved in research with BBP materials require prior approval of biological research registration(s), work at BSL-2 containment, an Exposure Control Plan, Lab-specific exposure control plan, and documentation of Hepatitis B Vaccination Declination Form.  NOTE: Only employees are required to complete the Hep B forms. 
• Training: Please note that our Biosafety I & II training programs include and meet the requirements of the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) program. Once the Biosafety training programs are complete it is NOT necessary to take the BBP course.
