The use of genetically modified, pathogenic or alien organisms is subject to notification or authorization (according to the OUC). Other regulations apply to the use of biological agents:

  • Ordinance on Protection of Employees from Dangerous Microorganisms (OPTM, only available in french),
  • Ordinance of the EAER on Dangerous and Arduous Working Conditions in Pregnancy and Maternity (OPROMA, only available in french),
  • Ordinance of the EAER on Dangerous Working Conditions for Young People (Ordinance Young people, only available in french),
  • Ordinance on Protection against Major Accidents (OPAM).

The BSO is responsible for the management of biosafety in his or her department, including ECOGEN notifications.
