The Biological Safety Application is a data management program for users of Biological Agents. The Biological Safety Assistant is a unique computer software program designed to help the Biological Safety Officer (BSO) efficiently meet federal, state and local requirements for managing the safe use of Select Agents and Biological materials.  The BIO Assistant allows for the documentation of your biological material receipt, use, waste, disposal, real-time inventory, training records, lab surveys and audits, instrument inventory, including calibration records and locations as well as general information about your facility.  Included as part of the application is the ability to register permits and/or protocols for the use of Biological Agents.  The Web Builder allows for the creation of IBC, IACUC, and IRB protocols.  These protocols are submitted for review and approval.  Once approved, data elements entered during the entry and review process are auto-filled into the Permit.Protocol.  This eliminates the need to enter, review, update and re-enter the data entered via the submission process.  

In addition to inventory and permits/protocols, the EHS Assistant can control Bio Safety cabinets, fume Hoods and all other lab equipment.
