Biosafety at UNT

The Biosafety Program supports the UNT community by helping faculty, staff, and students work safely with biological materials through training, guidance, procedures, and compliance support. Use the topic links on this page to access biosafety resources, training materials, procedures, logs, signs, and regulatory guidance.

Environmental Health and Safety works with the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC)  to review and authorize research with infectious agents and biohazardous materials. Environmental Health and Safety also supports researchers by conducting laboratory surveys and providing guidance to support compliance with the UNT Biosafety Policy and the CDC/NIH Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL)

Environmental Health and Safety provides biosafety training, including Bloodborne Pathogens training, and oversees the Biohazardous Waste Management Program.
