Mission Statement:
The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) oversees the
safety of research and classroom projects involving recombinant
DNA or other biohazardous materials. The IBC sets
containment levels in accordance with National Institutes of
Health Guidelines and the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention. The IBC periodically reviews previously
approved research projects for changes which would necessitate
increasing or decreasing the containment levels.
Specifically, the IBC evaluates research projects that use
recombinant DNA or other Biohazardous materials. The IBC
coordinates its reviews with University departmental laboratory
safety committees and Safety Officers in order to ensure
research personnel have adequate occupational health monitoring,
training on safe work practices, exposure control emergencies
and use of protective equipment. |
