Safety Committees

WPI’s Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) is responsible for regulating the use of biohazardous agents to ensure compliance with appropriate regulations and guidelines and to safeguard the health and safety of WPI personnel and the community. The Committee serves as the official regulatory body of the faculty and staff in all matters relating to the use of biohazardous agents in basic research. 

The Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) Radiation, Health, and Safeguards Committee (RHSC) is dedicated to providing a safe environment for the use of radioactive material at WPI. The RHSC is comprised of representatives appointed by the administration of WPI. CGSR membership is consistent with the federal provisions of 10CFR33.13.C.1 and the state provisions of 105CMR120.127.B.3.a.
