Research safety and security

We have expert groups and committees that collaborate to achieve research safety and security. These groups include:

Institutional Biosafety Committee
On behalf of Macquarie University, the IBC co-ordinates compliance with the relevant legislation and standards associated with working, handling and disposing of pathogenic and genetically modified organisms, biohazardous materials and materials requiring quarantine containment.
Export Controls
The Defence Trade Controls Act 2012 protects the national interest by preventing sensitive goods and technologies from falling into the wrong hands. Learn how we are compliant.
Radiation safety
The ultimate aim when working with any source of radiation is to minimise the doses that staff and students receive. Read about the actions we are taking.
Laser safety
Lasers produce a high-intensity beam which can cause damage to eyes and the skin. Learn about our commitment to the safe use of laser products both on and off campus.
Chemical safety
Chemicals and substances that have the potential to harm human health, property and the environment. Find out about our induction on hazardous chemical safety.
