BioPath is the Biohazards Medical Monitoring Program of the University of Florida Occupational Medicine team. Enrollment in the BioPath Program is required for all those working with risk group 3 agents in a BSL3 or ABSL3 laboratory at UF.
Vendors, contractors, visitors, and maintenance personnel entering non-decontaminated BSL3/ABSL3 areas must enroll in BioPath.
Enrollment in the BioPath Program does not exempt an individual from the need for enrollment in the Animal Contact Medical Monitoring Program
It is the responsibility of the supervisor or Principal Investigator to ensure that persons requiring participation in the biohazard medical monitoring program do so and complete and submit the forms. The supervisor acknowledges and signs the enrollment (authorization) form.
BioPath Approval Process
BioPath approval at the University of Florida is initiated by the submission of two forms:
- Biohazard Medical Monitoring Authorization Form
- BioPath: Medical Assessment Questionnaire
These forms should also be completed initially and any time an individual’s exposure potential changes and on an annual basis.
