Biosafety Manual

University Biosafety Manual

The University Biosafety Manual provides a comprehensive reference for Virginia Tech personnel working with biohazardous materials. It outlines required safety practices, procedures, and responsibilities to reduce the risk of exposure and ensure a safe laboratory environment. 

Lab-Specific Biosafety Manual

A printed copy of Lab-Specific Biosafety Manual is required in each lab. The completed document is required for IBC review of your protocol for approval/renewals, and for biosafety inspections by EHS. Completion of this document provides all lab staff with an occupational risk assessment and summary for your work with biohazardous materials.
