Although the "Laboratory Standard" does not refer to biological agents, the policy of this University is to apply the same basic requirements and responsibilities for training, Laboratory Safety Plan, and reporting of accidents/exposures, to biological agents. This policy applies to research that is:

• sponsored by the University;
• conducted by employees or agents of the University; or
• conducted using the University's property, facilities, students or non-public information.

The committee upholds the University's is responsibility for ensuring that research and teaching activities are carried out in a manner that protects students, University employees, and the community.
