Biosafety Program Information

Information about the UA Biological Safety Program can be found under The University of Alabama Department of Research & Economic Development as a part of Research Compliance.

Research Compliance provides guidance related to proper disposal of biological materials. Laboratory Decommissioning guidelines and equipment/room tags are posted at EHS Forms and Supporting Documents.  Before anyone else can move into a lab room, all lab spaces MUST be decommissioned (by the exiting Lab PI or Research Group) anytime you relinquish control of the space for any reason.

Information about ordering biological materials, chemicals or other items can be found on the EHS Ordering Information site. Shipping of biological materials of any type is potentially subject to DOT and/or IATA regulations.  Please review our Shipping Information.
