Companies and research institutions working with genetically modified organisms or biological agents are subject to specific requirements under German genetic engineering law. A biological safety officer ensures that these requirements are met and reviewed on a regular basis. In the Mannheim–Heidelberg region, SAFETY & HEALTH Consulting supports organisations with external expertise.
Genetic engineering law and biological safety in practice
The German Genetic Engineering Act requires 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.
Regional presence and integrated occupational safety
In the Mannheim–Heidelberg area 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 our article Ergonomics consultancy and FUTUROSALUD ASI Manager: simplifying occupational safety.
SAFETY & HEALTH Consulting is your point of contact for biological safety under genetic engineering law and offers practical solutions tailored to the regional environment.
