Biosafety Program and Forms
The Biosafety Program at the University of Guelph focuses on the safe management of biohazardous materials including microorganisms and biological toxins that cause disease in humans, animals, and plants. Principal Investigators planning to use biohazards within their research, teaching or analytical services activities are required to obtain a biohazard permit.
All documentation and forms pertaining to the Biohazard Program are accessible for users through their University of Guelph login.
