The Value of Biosafety Professionals
Abstract:
The life science industry continues to grow in leaps and bounds. Novel biological discoveries occur every day. Although in recent years the dollars spent for federally-funded biological research has decreased, the regulatory requirements under which this work must be conducted have expanded, and along with it, the responsibilities of the biosafety professional. In general, the role of the biosafety professional is to ensure the health and welfare of individuals conducting biological research, and to safeguard the community and environment from the risks associated with working with pathogens, genetically engineered microorganisms, and toxins. Biosafety professionals bring value to the biotechnology industry, academic institutions, and to consumers of bio-commerce. In a previous article we identified five factors that contribute to the salaries of biosafety professionals (Gillum et al., 2013). This article continues the examination of factors influencing an individual’s salary within the biosafety profession with results from a new survey
