Biological Safety Program

Bio Symbol

The goals of the Biological Safety Program are to protect laboratory workers, the public and the environment from potentially hazardous biological agents and toxins. Some regulations are essential if experiments are to be done safely. The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) advocates the use of biosafety precautions that effectively reduce or eliminate the risk of exposure to potentially hazardous agents used in research.
