Biological Exposure Occupational Health Program
The Biological Exposure Occupational Health Program provides awareness training and/or review, handling information and medical oversight to anyone at Purdue University working with a Risk Group 2 or higher biological agent (BSL 2 or higher laboratory). Program participation is offered at no charge.
Participation includes a risk assessment, agent specific exposure awareness training and a medical assessment. Individual risk assessments and exposure potentials will be reviewed by medical personnel to determine if vaccinations, serum testing or pre-exposure baseline sample collection is warranted. When necessary, any post-exposure accident information will be available as well.
Who should participate?
Anyone at Purdue University that works with Risk Group 2 or higher biological agents (BSL 2 or higher laboratory), rDNA materials and unfixed human fluids, cell lines and tissue should participate.
