Principles & Practices of Biosafety
Topic: Principles & Practices of Biosafety will introduce the essential elements of biosafety and provide extensive resource lists for use after the course. Interactive exercises will be used throughout to provide hands-on experience and to encourage networking and problem-solving among participants and instructors. At the end of the course each participant will be able to: Describe potentially hazardous biological materials, the risks associated with their use, and the means to minimize risk and to protect against or prevent release or exposure; Discuss ways to provide effective technical expertise in situations involving potentially hazardous biological materials; Identify, locate, and efficiently use key biosafety resources.
