All on­-campus transfers of biohazardous materials must be registered with Environmental Health and Safety Services.

For transfer of biohazardous materials from or to another institution outside of Syracuse University, contact EHSS for more information.

Principal Investigators are responsible for meeting the requirements listed below:

  1. The receiving PI must have an IBC approved application covering the biohazardous materials prior to transfer.
  2. Individuals physically transferring biohazardous materials must complete required biosafety training prior to handling or transferring materials.
  3. All biohazardous materials must be transported in secondary containment that is sealed, leakproof, and labeled with a biohazard sticker.
