Biohazardous materials include human biological specimens, infectious agents, recombinant material, and gene therapy. Biological toxins and carcinogens are also included if they are used in conjunction with animals. The following trainings are required before investigators can be given approval to ship biohazardous materials or use them in teaching or research. The following CITI trainings are required dependent on the nature and use of the materials and must be taken yearly:
- Transporting Dangerous Goods: Shipping Biohazardous Biological Material Training
- Working with biohazardous material, regulated materials, infectious agents, and recombinant DNA: Yearly BioSafety Training
- Working with human blood, blood products, human body fluid, human tissue and/or cell lines: OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Training
- Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC): Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) Training
