Laboratory Worker Biosafety Primer
Laboratory Worker Biosafety Primer introduces the biosafety guidelines that keep workers, the environment, and the public safe. It uses the World Health Organization (WHO) process and framework to explain how to identify and assess infectious agent risk, so this content is appropriate for science workspaces worldwide. This class focuses on the hierarchy of controls, including the elimination/substitution of dangerous protocols and equipment, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Proper laboratory design is also crucial in ensuring containment and control measures are in place, so a bonus section on facility design is included. The Laboratory Worker Biosafety Primer is a need-to-have course for all who work in a science space- register today and stay safe!
