#DidYouKnow: Administrative Information Required

The Public Health Agency of Canada may order applicants, licence holders and biological safety officers to provide information relevant to the administration of the Human Pathogens and Toxins Act (the Act) and the Human Pathogens and Toxins Regulations. An inspector does not need to be present on site to request this information. The Public Health Agency of Canada may require you to submit any information through an order under section 38 of the Act at any time.

You must keep all biosafety and biosecurity policies, standards, and practices up to date so that you can quickly respond to any such orders. This includes those related to document retention and records. Please refer to the Canadian Biosafety Standard to verify that you meet the minimum standards.
