## Biological/Genetic Modification safety toolkit

The Universty Arrangements [Chapter 3](http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/display.aspx?DocID=14942 "link to document") covers managing biological safety (including work on genetically modified organisms).

This toolkit contains information needed for users to manage the risks associated with their

- biological hazards, and
- work with genetically modified organisms (GMOs)

and gives guidance on

- managing the facilities where this work is carried out
- the remit of local Bio/GM committees, and
- other related hazards e,g, waste, transport and chemicals

The [University's Biological Safety Advisor](https://www.healthandsafety.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/contactus/), together with University Safety Co-ordinators, is able to advise schools and individuals on appropriate facilities, operational matters, risk assessments and training for work with GMOs and other biological materials.
