About the Course
This course is thoughtfully created around the key references in the field, the Biosafety Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratory (5th Edition, December 2009) and the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant and Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules (updated April 2019). Our objective is to provide you with a working knowledge of the essentials of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling biological hazards in the workplace. This course will review essential competencies expected of a Biological Safety Officer. While the concepts reviewed are fundamental to any biolgocal safety program, this course is designed for those new or experienced in the field. Plus, our instructors employ an enjoyable combination of well-structured lectures, descriptive examples, and hands-on exercises to teach this course.
