A biosafety program consists of many components, which are determined by the type of research being conducted at the institution as well as by current regulations and guidelines. A biosafety program may include oversight of blood-borne pathogens, research involving infectious materials or recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules (rDNA), biosafety cabinet (BSC) certifications, and/or high-containment laboratories and select agents. Many institutions will not have all elements, but a means is needed to evaluate the success of each component present.
