Biosafety
and Anatomical Specimens
Anyone working with unfixed, human, anatomical specimens is at risk
of bloodborne pathogen exposure and must comply with the provisions
of the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. A University
investigator requesting unfixed specimens from the State Anatomy
Board must first obtain certification from the University Biosafety
Officer that the requirements of the Standard have been met. A suggested
format for this request can be found at the link below. For more
information, please contact the Biosafety Officer,
Melissa A. Morland, MS, RBP, CBSP (410-706-7845) or the Director, Anatomical Services
Division, State Anatomy Board, Ronald S. Wade (410-706-3313).
Draft letter to initiate bloodborne pathogen
certification
If you and your staff are not covered by an existing
control plan, please contact
Melissa A. Morland for assistance. Be aware that it may take some time and
effort to get one written and implemented.
