The High Containment Laboratory Oversight Group (HCLOG) was established in response to a March 4, 2015 UC Presidential directive that indicated that:
"Each campus should establish a High Containment Laboratory Oversight Group (Group) to coordinate laboratory operations, including preventative maintenance, testing and verification, and planning of modification to existing and proposed High Containment facilities, emergency management planning, and implementation of training for all laboratory-associated personnel groups."
The UCLA HCLOG is advisory to the Vice Chancellor for Research and Creative Activities, and the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC).
The HCLOG does not provide advice regarding non-research, clinical operations at the UCLA hospitals and clinics.
