Companies and research institutions working with genetically modified organisms or biological agents are subject to specific regulatory requirements in many jurisdictions. In Germany, for example, the Genetic Engineering Act defines structured obligations for assessment, responsibility and documentation. A biological safety officer ensures that such requirements are met and reviewed on a regular basis. SAFETY & Health Consulting supports organisations with external biosafety expertise.
Genetic engineering law and biological safety in practice
Regulations such as the German Genetic Engineering Act require structured assessment of planned genetic engineering work, clear responsibilities and traceable documentation. Research laboratories and life science start-ups benefit from external biological safety officers who are familiar with both regulatory developments and everyday laboratory routines.
Integrated occupational safety
We combine on-site visits with digital formats to support projects efficiently. Questions on biological safety are linked to existing occupational safety structures: risk assessments, training and ergonomic aspects complement each other. For further aspects of integrated occupational safety, see Ergonomics consultancy and FUTUROSALUD ASI Manager: simplifying occupational safety.
SAFETY & Health Consulting is your point of contact for biological safety in the context of genetic engineering and biotechnology regulation and offers practical solutions tailored to your organisation.
