Biosafety Training
ASU biosafety training is a comprehensive training that fulfills the training requirement for work with infectious materials in laboratories, materials of human origin that fall under the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, and NIH Guidelines training.
The frequency of refresher training depends on the materials being utilized as outlined by the cha.
Does ASU have a field research safety manual?
Students participating in field research in international locations must register with ASU Global Education.
The ASU Field Research Safety Manual provides the requirements, policies, guidelines, and resources for ASU personnel to conduct field research safely and successfully.
Lab-Specific Training
Lab-specific training is ongoing training provided by the principal investigator (PI) on the specific materials and procedures that are being utilized in the laboratory.
The PI mustprovide the lab-specific training prior to allowing individuals to work with biohazardous materials and whenever policies or procedures change.
NIH Guidelinestraining
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Biotechnology Activities (OBA) regulates the use of recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules in government-sponsored research and teaching activities in the United States.
The NIH OBA developed the NIH "Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules" (NIH Gu.
