Plant containment symbol

The poster attached (below) presented at recent Society of In Vitro Biology (SIVB) and American Biosafety Association (ABSA) conferences summarizes the difference between the universal biohazard symbol and the plant containment symbol.

The poster also presents guidelines for using the plant containment symbol for greenhouses, growth chambers, growth rooms or laboratories where plant research requires containment.

The NCERA-101 Committee on Controlled Environment Technology and Use provides further references for containment (biosafety) on its website.
