Do I have to contact the other “committees” (Radiation Safety Committee, BioSafety Committee, etc) on campus when my protocol involves work with hazardous materials?
Radiation Safety Committee: If you will work with radioisotopes, then you’ll need to make sure you have the appropriate authorization from the Radiation Safety Committee. If you have further questions, contact your liaison at the Environmental Health & Safety Office, 530-752-1493. Institutional BioSafety Committee: If you will work with pathogenic organisms, generate transgenic animal models that are not commercially available or have not been generated elsewhere and published in the literature, working with select agents, you will need authorization from the IBC. If you have further questions, contact your liaison at the Environmental Health & Safety Office, 530-752-1493.
