The Biosafety Office of WVU’s Environmental Health and Safety Department, in conjunction with ABSA International-The Association for Biosafety and Biosecurity, would like to announce that October is Biosafety Month. 

ABSA International is proud to announce the 9th anniversary of Biosafety Month in October 2022. Rather than a theme for 2022, we like to bring Biosafety and Biosecurity Month back to the core components of ethical research, transparency, training, engagement and stewardship of biosafety and biosecurity.  We will utilize the social networking hashtag #biosafety_biosecuritymonth to highlight our activities.

The 2022 Biosafety Month is a period of time to shine the spotlight on training ideas, stewardship and engagement, how to foster positive relationships with the research community, and supporting responsible and ethical research through our profession.

Throughout the month of October, the Biosafety office will be engaging in awareness campaigns and activities to enhance and reinforce the key principles of Biosafety on campus.

Biosafety month will culminate with events across campus.  Join the Biosafety team for activities, prizes, and learning at the following times and location:

10/25/22- Health Sciences Center 1^st Floor Commons Area - 1pm to 3pm
