The Office for Research Safety (ORS) develops, implements, and coordinates the radiation, chemical, and biological safety programs for all research laboratories and all other areas of the University where hazardous chemicals and human blood or other potentially infectious human materials are used. In addition to providing health and safety services, ORS is responsible for assuring University compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.
