Safety & Biosafety
Potentially hazardous work pertaining to hazardous chemicals, biologicals, quarantine materials or GMOs must be undertaken in accordance with both UQ and government policies. The OH&S and biosafety contacts relevant for the Plant Development Lab are:
- Biological Safety Advisor: Dr Amanda Jones; 336 51819, biosafety@uq.edu.au
- Biosafety Quarantine Advisor: Kerrin Henderson, 334 69489, biosafety@uq.edu.au
