Biohazardous Waste Disposal

Biohazardous waste is managed in accordance with NHDES Solid Waste Rules (Env-Sw 904 Infectious Waste).

Shipment of Biohazardous Materials

The UNH Shipment of Biological Materials Manual is designed to assist researchers shipping potentially infectious biological materials. This manual also includes information pertaining to importation, exportation, select agents, and shipping with dry ice. To become certified to ship biological materials and dry ice at UNH, follow instructions outlined in the manual.

Bloodborne Pathogens

The University of New Hampshire’s Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Plan (Exposure Control Plan) has been developed in response to both the Federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (codified under 29 CFR 1910.1030) and UNH’s concerns for individual’s safety. The Bloodborne Pathogen Standard requires that specific issues be addressed in the Exposure Control Plan to address safety concerns.
