Office of Research Safety

On behalf of the entire ORS team, we want to wish you a safe and healthy experience at GW.  It is our mission to protect the GW research community and the general public. As such, we are dedicated to creating a partnership with the research community and providing services to assist faculty, staff and students in integrating safety and compliance into their workplace. 

ORS provides training, consultation and services in the areas of biosafety, radiation safety and laser safety. ORS is also the primary contact for federal, state, and local regulatory agencies regarding matters of laboratory safety.

Throughout our website, you will be able to review policies, procedures, online training presentations, report biosafety concerns, request services, download forms, and register for training sessions.
